Part 2: Sectional specification for circular connectors
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61076-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Connectors, of

Part 2: Sectional specification for circular connectors
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61076 establishes uniform specifications and technical information for
circular connectors. It should be used in conjunction with the generic specification
IEC 61076-1:2006 for product requirements and with IEC 62197-1 for quality requirements as
the basis for preparation of consistent detail product specifications for circular connectors.
NOTE 1 It is intended that a detail quality specification, IEC 62197-2-1XX, be prepared, based on the blank detail
specification for circular connectors IEC 62197-2-001, to be used in addition to the corresponding detail product
specification IEC 61076-2-1XX.
NOTE2 The quality assessment requirements for connectors according to the IEC 61076series are detailed in
IEC 62197-1.
In the event of conflict between this sectional specification and the detail product
specification, it is intended that the requirements of the detail product specification prevail.

3 Technical information
3.1 Terms and definitions
Terminology used in and applicable to this International Standard is stated in 2.1 of
IEC 61076-1. IEC 60512-1 also contains applicable terms.
– 6 – 61076-2 IEC:2011
3.2 System of levels
3.2.1 Performance levels
If appropriate, the detail product specification shall contain information about the different
performance levels.
The term ‘performance level’ reflects the grouping of the environmental and mechanical
stresses at which a component is tested, and also such features as long-term stability of
electrical characteristics. If different levels are defined in the detail product specification, they
have to be numbered, where the lowest number (1) usually indicates the highest performance.
3.2.2 Compatibility levels, according to IEC 61076-1
As a function of the standardization degree, four levels characterize the compatibility of
connectors from different sources. These levels are defined in 2.2.3.2 to 2.2.3.5 of
IEC 61076-1:2006 and should, when appropriate, be indicated in the detail product
specification of circular connectors.
3.3 Classification into climatic categories
Unless impractical, the lower and upper temperatures and the duration of the damp heat,
steady state test should be described in a table similar to the example given in 2.3 of
IEC 61076-1:2006.
3.4 Creepage and clearance distances
Permissible working or rated voltages depend on the application and on the applicable or
specified safety requirements.
Therefore, clearance and creepage distances as well as proof voltages under specified air
pressure shall be specified in the detail product specification.
3.5 Current-carrying capacity
For each connector, the current-carrying capacity shall be specified in the detail product
specification, preferably by the de-rating curve determined in accordance with test 5b of
IEC 60512-5-2.
3.6 Marking
Each connector and its associated package shall be marked in accordance with the
requirements specified in 2.7 of IEC 61076-1:2006.
4 Dimensional information
Dimensions provided in the detail product specification for circular connectors shall provide
– mating information;
– mounting information;
– overall dimension;
– locking and sealing information, if appropriate;
– information on termination and cable fixing.
For more details see 3.1 to 3.5 of IEC 61067-1 Ed. 2.0.
61076-2 IEC:2011 – 7 –
5 Characteristics
To provide information on specified essential electrical and mechanical characteristics,
preferred methods on tests and measurements are listed; additional characteristics may be
added to the detail product specification, when appropriate.
6 Tests and test schedules
6.1 General aspects
See Clause 5 of IEC 61076-1:2006.
The detail product specification shall state the test sequence(s) (in accordance with this
standard), and the number of specimens for each test sequence (not less than four mated
pairs).
Individual variants may be submitted to type tests for approval of those particular variants.
It is permissible to limit the number of variants tested to a selection representative of the
whole range for which approval is required (which may be less than the range covered by the
detail product specification), but each feature and characteristic shall be proved.
The connectors shall have been processed in a careful and workmanlike manner, in
accordance with good current practice.
6.2 Test schedules
6.2.1 General
To provide for different applications of connectors, the extent of the test schedule may be
different in the various detail product specifications.
The basic (minimum) test schedule is given in 6.2.2.
The detail product specification shall state the tests to be carried out and shall specify the
requirements to be fulfilled.
In no case shall the tests required by the detail product specification be less than those listed
in 6.2.2.
A full test schedule is laid down in 6.2.3. This should be used to evaluate connectors used in
severe environments (e.g. aircraft or marine environments).
For most connector types, an intermediate test schedule may be appropriate. This
intermediate test schedule shall then be formed by omitting entire groups and/or conditionings
from the full test schedules that are not necessary.
Test phase numbers shall not be modified but used as given in 6.2.3.
The same is applicable when the sequence of the test phases in a test group is not entirely
appropriate to a particular type or style. In that case, the sequence of the tests, but not the
measurement to be performed subsequent to tests, may be altered for that particular detail
product specification.
The test phase number shall be retained for each test thereby affording clarity should such
alteration in sequence be conducted.
– 8 – 61076-2 IEC:2011
Where a detail product specification includes additional characteristics which require testing
and/or specific test sequences, the appropriate existing or new test (in the form of a
normative annex to the detail product specification) shall be in the appropriate place in the
test table. These may be specified in an additional test group or groups; see test group HP.
NOTE It is necessary for the detail product specification to select the appropriate basic, intermediate or full test
schedule.
6.2.2 Basic (minimum) test schedule
Where the basic (minimum) test schedule is appropriate, the detail product specification shall
call for the following tests listed in Table 1 and shall specify the characteristics to be
examined and the requirements to be fulfilled.

Where the full test schedule is appropriate, the detail product specification shall call for the
following tests (Tables 2 to 12) and shall specify the characteristics to be examined and the
requirements to be fulfilled.
61076-2 IEC:2011 – 9 –
The schedule detailed below is recommended for preparing detail product specifications,
however, specific design and application features shall carefully be taken into account when
preparing the detail product specification. The schedule detailed below shall be used as a
guide. The test phase numbering should be used as specified below.
To comply with the different applications of connectors, the test schedule of the detail product
specifications may be extended to provide performance for different fields of application.
For solderless terminations, test sequences of the applicable part of IEC 60352 shall be
integrated into the appropriate full test schedule.

6.3 Test procedures and measuring methods
The test methods specified and given in the relevant standards are the preferred methods but
not necessarily the only ones which can be used. In case of dispute, however, the specified
method shall be used as the reference method.
Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be carried out under standard atmospheric
conditions for testing as specified in IEC 60068-1.
Where approval procedures are involved and alternative methods are employed it is the
responsibility of the manufacturer to satisfy the authority granting approval that any
alternative methods which he may use give results equivalent to those obtained by the
methods specified.
6.4 Pre-conditioning
Before the tests are made, the connectors shall be preconditioned under standard
atmospheric conditions for testing as specified in IEC 60068-1 for a period of 24 h unless
otherwise specified by the detail product specification.
6.5 Wiring and mounting of specimens
6.5.1 Wiring
Where wiring of test specimens is required, the detail product specification shall contain
information suitable to comply with the selected methods of test.
6.5.2 Mounting
When mounting is required in a test, unless otherwise specified, the connectors shall be
rigidly mounted on a metal plate or to specified accessories, whichever is applicable, using
the specified connection methods, fixing devices and panel cut-outs as laid down in the detail
product specification.
7 Blank detail product specification – General
A blank detail product specification forms a supplement to the sectional specification and
contains requirements for style and layout and minimum content of the detail product
specification, thus ensuring a uniform presentation.
Its contents shall be derived from the generic or sectional specification and shall list a
selection of technical criteria necessary to describe a connector subfamily.
Detail product specifications not complying with these requirements may not be considered as
being in accordance with IEC specifications nor shall they be so described.
In the preparation of the blank detail product specification for circular connectors,
IEC 61076-2-001, the content of this sectional product specification shall be taken into
account.
