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 60603-7-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Connectors,
of IEC technical committee 48: Electromechanical components and mechanical structures for
electronic equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2009, and constitutes
a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
1) the correction, or inclusion, of technical references;
2) the harmonization of terminology with other parts of the IEC 60603-7 series and other
referenced documents;
3) the modification of screen dimensions so as to include connectors on the market;

4) the inclusion of two new test groups (EP and FP) that provides the necessary cascading
and references to other parts of the IEC 60603-7 series, and satisfies the requirements of
ISO/IEC 11801 to enable correct referencing.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
48B/2163/CDV 48B/2209/RVC

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60603 series, under the general title Connectors for electronic
equipment, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,

INTRODUCTION
Applications have emerged which require the use of the interface described in IEC 60603-7 with
certain performance specifications at higher frequencies. Therefore, a series of detail
specifications have been issued in the past few years in support of these new applications. In
order to improve readability and ease of maintenance, IEC subcommittee 48B (SC 48B)
decided to rearrange and restructure these existing documents.
This part of IEC 60603-7 contains only the necessary information regarding the shield of the
connector and is designed to be used as a base document for all shielded connectors in the
IEC 60603-7 series.
For further information regarding the IEC 60603-7 style connectors, reference is made to the
unshielded base document IEC 60603-7.
IEC 60603-7 is the base specification of the whole series. Subsequent specifications do not
duplicate information given in the base document, but list only additional requirements.
The following illustration shows the structure of the IEC 60603-7 series:

of terminations, for example each cable shield construction type the connector is intended to
be used for.
5 Gauges
There are no shield specific dimensional gauges for IEC 60603-7-1 connectors. For overall
dimensions, the gauges as defined by Clause 5 of IEC 60603-7:2008 shall apply.
6 Characteristics
6.1 General
Compliance to the test schedules is intended to ensure the reliability of all performance
parameters, over the range of operating climatic conditions. Stable and compliant contact
resistance is a good indication of the stability of shield performance.
The characteristics of the signal contacts of connectors according IEC 60603-7-1 shall
conform to all relevant requirements specified by IEC 60603-7.
6.2 Pin and pair grouping assignment
The pin and pair grouping assignment of 6.2 of IEC 60603-7:2008 applies.
6.3 Classification into climatic category
Connectors according to IEC 60603-7-1 are classified in the same climatic categories as
defined by IEC 60603-7.

6.4 Electrical characteristics
6.4.1 Creepage and clearance distances
Insulation coordination is not required for this connector; therefore, the creepage and
clearance distances in IEC 60664-1 are reduced and covered by overall performance
requirements.
Therefore, the creepage and clearance distances in Table 3 are given as operating
characteristics of mated connectors.
In practice, reductions in creepage or clearance distances may occur due to the conductive
pattern of the printed board or the wiring used, and shall duly be taken into account.
