IEC 62317-5:2015

Ferrite cores - Dimensions - Part 5: EP-cores and associated parts for use in inductors and transformers

IEC 62317-5:2015 specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical interchangeability for a preferred range of EP-cores, the essential dimensions of coil formers to be used with these cores and the locations of their terminal pins on a 2,50 mm printed wiring grid in relation to the base outlines of the cores, and the effective parameter values to be used in calculations involving them. This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61596 published in 1995. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 61596:
a) addition of EP5-core in Table 1,
b) addition of effective parameter and Amin values, main dimensions of coil formers, and pin locations and base outlines for EP5-core.

Noyaux ferrites - Dimensions - Partie 5: Noyaux EP et pièces associées utilisés dans les inductances et transformateurs

L'IEC 62317-5:2015 spécifie les dimensions qui présentent une importance pour l'interchangeabilité mécanique d'une gamme préférentielle de noyaux EP, les dimensions essentielles des carcasses à utiliser avec ces noyaux et les emplacements de leurs broches de raccordement sur une grille à pas de 2,50 mm en rapport avec les périmètres d'embase des noyaux et les valeurs des paramètres effectifs à utiliser pour les calculs qui s'y rapportent. Cette première édition annule et remplace la première édition de l'IEC 61596 parue en 1995. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'IEC 61596:
a) ajout du noyau EP5 dans le Tableau 1,
b) ajout des valeurs de paramètres effectifs, des valeurs Amin et des principales dimensions des carcasses, et emplacements des broches et périmètres d'embase pour le noyau EP5.

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 62317-5 has been prepared IEC technical committee 51: Magnetic
components and ferrite materials.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61596 published in 1995. This
edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 61596:
a) addition of EP5-core in Table 1,
b) addition of effective parameter and A values, main dimensions of coil formers, and pin
min
locations and base outlines for EP5-core.
