Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment - Tests and measurements - Part 23-3: Screening and filtering tests - Test 23c: Shielding effectiveness of connectors and accessories - Line injection method (IEC 60512-23-3:2018)

This part of IEC 60512 defines a standard test method for measuring the shielding
effectiveness SE of a shielded connector, or of a connector not provided with integral shield
once fitted with a shielding accessory and terminated with a screened cable.
The complete assembly has a continuous 360° shielding capability throughout its length.
NOTE 1 Practically, continuous 360° shielding is not always achievable based on the geometry of the connector.
NOTE 2 Shielding" is used in this document with the same meaning as "screening".
This test method can be applied to shielded connectors and to connector accessories with shielding capability. The following different connector designs can be tested:
- circular connectors;
- rectangular connectors;
- connectors for printed boards;
- connector shielding accessories.
NOTE 3 For the definition of "accessory" see IEV 581-24-10. A shielding accessory i.e. an accessory that confers shielding to a non-inherently shielded connector, may be a suitable set of shielded housings providing electrical continuity, along the mated connector set, between the screen of the (screened) cable at the cable outlet of the free cable connector housing and the metallic mounting surface for the fixed connector housing. The free connector housing is provided with a cable screen clamp.
This test method utilizes the principle that the intrinsic shielding property of the connector/accessory/cable assembly is its surface transfer impedance ZT which can be expressed as the longitudinal voltage inside the shield, relative to the current flow on the outside shell.
This test method is based on two impedance-matched circuits. See Figure 1 for the measurement principle. The connector specimen under test is integrated into the secondary circuit 02. The impedance-matched injection line of the primary circuit 01, which activates the electromagnetic field, runs parallel to the surface of the specimen under test.
This test is also suitable for measuring the shielding effectiveness of a connector fitted with triaxial contacts terminated with shielded, twisted pair cables, as used in data bus systems.
NOTE 4 This standard has been adopted by ASD-STAN (formerly known as AECMA) as EN 2591-212.

IEC 60512-23-3:2018 est disponible sous forme de IEC 60512-23-3:2018 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

L'IEC 60512-23-3:2019. définit une méthode d’essai normalisée pour mesurer l’efficacité de blindage SE d’un connecteur blindé, ou d’un connecteur sans blindage intégré et équipé d’un accessoire de blindage, et raccordé à un câble écranté. Le câble assemblé présente un blindage continu sur 360° sur toute sa longueur. La présente méthode d’essai peut être appliquée aux connecteurs blindés et aux accessoires de connecteur ayant un blindage. Les différentes conceptions de connecteur ci-après peuvent être soumises à essai:
- connecteurs circulaires,
- connecteurs rectangulaires,
- connecteurs pour cartes de circuit imprimé,
- accessoires de blindage pour connecteur.
La présente méthode d’essai part du principe que la propriété intrinsèque du blindage de l’ensemble connecteur/accessoire/câble est son impédance de transfert de surface ZT, qui peut être exprimée par la tension longitudinale à l’intérieur du blindage, en fonction du courant parcourant le boîtier extérieur. Le présent essai est également adapté à la mesure de l’efficacité de blindage d’un connecteur équipé de contacts triaxiaux raccordés à des câbles blindés à paires torsadées, comme ceux utilisés dans les systèmes pour bus de données. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition, parue en 2000. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) ajout d’une introduction visant à donner des recommandations dans le présent document relatives à la méthode d’essai parallèle 23g, figurant dans la même famille;
b) modification de la plage de fréquences pour laquelle la présente méthode d’essai est considérée fiable, dont la limite supérieure passe de 1 GHz à 3 GHz, afin d’assurer l’homogénéité avec la Figure 7 (inchangée) et les pratiques et besoins actuels de l’industrie;
c) mise à jour de l’ancienne référence normative IEC 60096-4-1:1990, retirée et incorrecte (la référence normative à spécifier aurait dû être l’IEC 61196-1:1995, depuis elle aussi retirée), qui devient l’IEC 62153-4-6:2017;
d) mise à jour des numéros de paragraphe actuels pour refléter ceux de l’IEC 62153 4 6:2017, qui étaient auparavant les numéros de paragraphe de l’IEC 61196 1:1995 (attribués par erreur à l’IEC 60096-4-1:1990). Dans un souci de clarification, le titre de ces paragraphes a été ajouté;
e) alignement du titre sur le domaine d’application actuel du SC 48B (connecteurs) et inclusion des équipements électriques comme application cible desdits connecteurs (selon le domaine d’application actuel du TC 48), et référence explicite à la méthode (ligne d’injection) utilisée pour la mesure de l’impédance de transfert;

Konektorji za električno in elektronsko opremo - Preskusi in meritve - 23-3. del: Preskusi zaslanjanja in filtriranja - Preskus 23c: Oklepna učinkovitost konektorjev in pribora - Metoda injekcijskih linij (IEC 60512-23-3:2018)

Ta del standarda IEC 60512 določa standardno preskusno metodo za merjenje oklepne učinkovitosti zaslonjenega konektorja ali konektorja, ki po namestitvi oklepnega pribora in zaključku z zaslonjenim kablom nima vgrajenega oklepa.
Celoten sklop ima neprekinjeno 360-stopinjsko oklepno zmogljivost po vsej dolžini.
OPOMBA 1: V praksi neprekinjeni 360-stopinjski oklep ni vedno dosegljiv glede na geometrijo konektorja.
OPOMBA 2: »Oklopljen« se v tem dokumentu uporablja z enakim pomenom kot »zaslonjen«. Ta preskusna metoda se lahko uporablja pri oklopljenih konektorjih in priboru za konektorje z oklepno zmogljivostjo. Preskušati je mogoče naslednje različne modele konektorjev:
– okrogle konektorje;
– pravokotne konektorje;
– konektorje za plošče tiskanih vezij;
– pribor za oklopljanje konektorjev.
OPOMBA 3: Za opredelitev »pribora« glej standard IEV 581-24-10. Pribor za oklopljanje, tj. pribor, ki daje zaščito konektorju brez oklepa, je lahko ustrezen sestav oklopljenih ohišij, ki zagotavljajo neprekinjeno električno povezavo vzdolž sestava spojnega konektorja med zaslonom (zaslonjenega) kabla na kabelski spojki ohišja konektorja brez kabla in kovinski površini za pritrditev fiksnega ohišja konektorja. Gibljivo ohišje konektorja je na voljo z zaslonjeno kabelsko objemko.
Pri tej preskusni metodi se uporablja načelo, da je bistvena oklepna lastnost konektorja/pribora/kabelskega sklopa njegova površinska prehodna impedanca ZT, ki jo je mogoče izraziti kot vzdolžno napetost v oklopu glede na pretok električnega toka na zunanji lupini. Preskusna metoda temelji na dveh vezjih z ujemajočo se impedanco. Za načelo merjenja glej sliko 1. Primerek konektorja na preskusu je vgrajen v sekundarni tokokrog 02. Vpenjalna linija z ujemajočo se impedanco primarnega tokokroga 01, ki aktivira elektromagnetno polje, poteka vzporedno s površino preskušanega primerka.
Ta preskus je primeren tudi za merjenje oklepne učinkovitosti konektorja, pritrjenega s triaksialnimi kontakti, z zaključkom oklopljene parice, kot se uporablja v sistemih podatkovnih vodil.
OPOMBA 4: Ta standard je sprejela organizacija ASD-STAN (prej poznana kot AECMA) kot standard EN 2591-212.

Overview

EN IEC 60512-23-3:2019 (adopted by CLC) defines the line injection method for measuring the shielding effectiveness (SE) of connectors and shielding accessories fitted to screened cables. Part of the IEC 60512 series (Screening and filtering tests), this standard specifies a reproducible test procedure to determine the surface transfer impedance (ZT) of a connector assembly and to derive its shielding attenuation (SE). The method applies to circular, rectangular, printed‑board connectors and to connector shielding accessories, including assemblies using triaxial contacts and shielded twisted‑pair data cables.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Measurement principle: two impedance‑matched circuits - a primary injection line runs parallel to the specimen and excites the electromagnetic field while the connector assembly forms the secondary circuit. SE is derived from the measured surface transfer impedance (ZT).
  • Applicable frequency range: the method is considered reliable up to about 3 GHz (updated from 1 GHz in earlier editions).
  • Specimens covered: shielded connectors, non‑shielded connectors fitted with a shielding accessory, and connector accessories that provide electrical continuity along the mated set.
  • Test setup elements:
    • impedance‑matched injection line and secondary circuit,
    • calibration procedure before measurement,
    • termination with screened cable and continuous 360° shielding where practicable (note: perfect 360° continuity may not always be achievable).
  • Instrumentation note: calibration and TDR requirements are strict; the standard warns that Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) devices with rise time < 100 ps are needed for certain calibrations (stricter than some related cable methods).
  • Output: plot of transfer impedance versus frequency and conversion to shielding effectiveness (attenuation) SE.

Applications and who uses it

This test method is essential for:

  • EMC engineers validating connector and accessory shielding performance
  • Connector designers/manufacturers assessing design improvements and accessories
  • Test laboratories performing compliance and characterization testing
  • Quality and compliance teams in automotive, aerospace, telecommunications and industrial electronics where connector shielding impacts system immunity and emissions
  • System integrators using shielded cable assemblies and data‑bus connectors (e.g., triaxial or shielded twisted pair systems)

Practical use cases include qualifying connector shields, comparing accessory designs, and verifying shielding integrity across mated interfaces under realistic cable terminations.

  • IEC 60512-1 - Generic test specifications for connectors
  • IEC 62153-4-6 - Surface transfer impedance - line injection method (normative reference)

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 60512-23-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Electrical
connectors, of IEC technical committee 48: Electrical connectors and mechanical structures
for electrical and electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2000. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) an introduction has been added to provide some guidance to this document in view of
concurrent test method 23g in the same family;

– 4 – IEC 60512-23-3:2018 © IEC 2018
b) the frequency range for which this test method is considered reliable moved from 1 GHz
to 3 GHz, to be consistent with Figure 7 (unchanged) and current industry practice and
need;
c) update to IEC 62153-4-6:2017 of former normative reference IEC 60096-4-1:1990,
withdrawn and incorrect (should have been IEC 61196-1:1995, also withdrawn);
d) update to current subclause numbers of IEC 62153-4-6:2017 what were the previous
subclause numbers referenced in IEC 61196-1:1995 (wrongly attributed to IEC 60096-4-
1:1990). For immediate understanding the title of these subclauses has been added;
e) alignment of title to the current scope of SC 48B (connectors) and inclusion of electrical
equipment as target application of said connectors (per current scope of TC 48) and
explicit reference to the method – line injection – for the measurement of transfer
impedance;
f) symbols SE for shielding effectiveness and Z for surface transfer impedance added

throughout the document;
g) list of connectors to which the test method is applicable – previously in 3.1 – moved in
scope;
h) former name of AECMA organization changed to the current ASD-STAN;
i) “specimen” used instead of “sample” throughout the document;
j) clarification in the title of what transfer impedance is described in Table 3 and editorial
improvement of the same;
k) “dielectric constant” changed into the updated term “relative permittivity”;
l) added a note to warn about the fact that this test method requires in 6.6 a TDR with more
stringent rise time of less than 100 ps than the value of less than 350 ps specified both in
IEC 62153-4-6 and in EN 50289-1-6 for the similar line injection method applied to
screened cables, whereas test 23g of IEC 60512-23-7 specifies for the same purpose a
TDR with a rise time of less than 200 ps;
m) adoption of term “connector housing” [IEV 581-27-10] instead of “shell” to address the
connector accessory providing the shielding;
n) title “Transfer impedance Z [Ω]” added to the ordinate axis on the left side of double log

The article discusses the standard test method for measuring the shielding effectiveness of connectors and accessories for electrical and electronic equipment. The test measures the ability of a shielded connector, or a connector with a shielding accessory, to provide continuous 360° shielding throughout its length. The test method can be applied to various connector designs, including circular connectors, rectangular connectors, connectors for printed boards, and connector shielding accessories. The test utilizes impedance-matched circuits and measures the surface transfer impedance of the connector assembly. The method is also suitable for measuring the shielding effectiveness of connectors in data bus systems.

이 기사는 전기 및 전자 장비용 커넥터 및 액세서리의 차폐 효과를 측정하기 위한 표준 시험 방법을 정의합니다. 이 시험은 커넥터에 연결되지 않은 방패를 포함한 경우와 방패가 장착된 커넥터에 대한 차폐 효과를 측정합니다. 완전한 조립은 길이 전체를 통해 연속적인 360° 차폐 능력을 가지고 있습니다. 커넥터의 기하학에 따라 실제로는 연속적인 360° 차폐를 항상 달성할 수는 없습니다. 이 시험 방법은 차폐 능력을 갖는 차폐 커넥터와 커넥터 액세서리에 적용할 수 있습니다. 원형 커넥터, 직사각형 커넥터, 인쇄 기판용 커넥터, 커넥터 차폐 액세서리 등 다양한 커넥터 디자인에 대해 테스트할 수 있습니다. 이 시험 방법은 커넥터/액세서리/케이블 조립의 내재적인 차폐 특성인 표면 전달 임피던스(ZT)를 기반으로 합니다. 이 시험 방법은 두 개의 임피던스 매칭 회로를 사용합니다. 이 시험은 데이터 버스 시스템에서 사용되는 차폐된 삼축 연락자로 끝난 커넥터의 차폐 효과를 측정하기에도 적합합니다. 이 표준은 EN 2591-212로 ASD-STAN(이전에는 AECMA로 알려졌음)에서 채택되었습니다.

この記事は、電気および電子機器用のコネクタとアクセサリの遮蔽効果を測定するための標準的なテスト方法を定義しています。このテストは、シールドされたコネクタやシールドアクセサリを装着した場合の遮蔽効果を測定します。完全なアセンブリは、全長にわたって連続した360°の遮蔽能力を持ちます。ただし、コネクタの形状によっては、実際には連続した360°の遮蔽を必ずしも実現できない場合があります。このテスト方法は、遮蔽能力を持つシールドコネクタやコネクタアクセサリに適用することができます。さまざまなコネクタデザインに適用でき、例として、円形コネクタ、長方形コネクタ、プリント基板用コネクタ、コネクタのシールドアクセサリなどがあります。このテスト方法は、コネクタ/アクセサリ/ケーブルアセンブリの表面転送インピーダンス(ZT)を測定する原理を利用しています。テストには、インピーダンスマッチングされた2つの回路を使用します。また、データバスシステムで使用されるシールドされたツイストペアケーブルで終端されたトライアックス接点を持つコネクタの遮蔽効果を測定するためにもこの方法は適しています。この標準は、ASD-STAN(以前はAECMAとして知られていた)でEN 2591-212として採用されています。
