Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment - Tests and measurements - Part 1: Generic specification (IEC 60512-1:2018)

IEC 60512-1:2018 is available as IEC 60512-1:2018 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC 60512-1:2018 is intended to be used as a basis for tests and measurements specifications for electrical connectors. It provides guidance and reference for tests and measurements within the IEC 60512 series. It includes the description and the practice of the various phases of tests and measurements (preparation, tests and measurements, requirements, documentation), in addition to basic terms and definitions applicable to any part of the IEC 60512 series. This standard shall be used in conjunction with IEC 60512-1-101 and relevant part(s) of series IEC 60512. Part 60512-1-100 provides the list of the existing test and measuring methods published within series IEC 60512. Detail tests and measurements specifications are applicable to electrical connectors and their components (e.g. connector inserts, connector housings, locking mechanisms, contacts and terminations) within the scope of technical committee 48. They may also be used for similar devices when specified in a detail product specification. Detail tests and measurements specifications are used in conjunction with detail product specifications which prescribe the tests to be used, the required degree of severity for each of them and the permissible performance limits. The detail product specification also specifies the deviations in procedures, which may be required when applying a test to the type of connector or its component under consideration, and it further specifies any special procedures which may be required. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition, published in 2001. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following main technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– in Clause 3, only terms relating to the testing are defined, and IEC 61076-1 is referred to for terms of connectors.
– Clause 4 (Numbering of tests and measurement specification) is added.
– Subclause 5.1.2 (Calibration) is added.
– in Clause 6 (Test), test procedure follows IEC 60068-1.

Part 1: Generic specification

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 60512-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Electrical
connectors, of IEC technical committee 48: Electrical connectors and mechanical structures
for electrical and electronic equipment.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition, published in 2001. It constitutes a
technical revision.
This edition includes the following main technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– in Clause 3, only terms relating to the testing are defined, and IEC 61076-1 is referred to
for terms of connectors.
– Clause 4 (Numbering of tests and measurement specification) is added.
– Subclause 5.1.2 (Calibration) is added.
– in Clause 6 (Test), test procedure follows IEC 60068-1.

Part 1: Generic specification



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60512 is intended to be used as a basis for tests and measurements
specifications for electrical connectors. It provides guidance and reference for tests and
measurements within the IEC 60512 series.
It includes the description and the practice of the various phases of tests and measurements
(preparation, tests and measurements, requirements, documentation), in addition to basic
terms and definitions applicable to any part of the IEC 60512 series.
This document is used in conjunction with IEC 60512-1-101 to establish uniform detail tests
and measurements specifications.
Detail tests and measurements specifications are applicable to electrical connectors and their
components (e.g. connector inserts, connector housings, locking mechanisms, contacts and
terminations) within the scope of technical committee 48. They may also be used for similar
devices when specified in a detail product specification.
Detail tests and measurements specifications are used in conjunction with detail product
specifications which prescribe the tests to be used, the required degree of severity for each of
them and the permissible performance limits. The detail product specification also specifies
the deviations in procedures, which may be required when applying a test to the type of
connector or its component under consideration, and it further specifies any special
procedures which may be required.
NOTE RF and fibre optical connectors are not dealt with by subcommittee 48B, however, hybrid connectors which
additionally employ RF and/or fibre optic contacts, are handled by SC 48B in cooperation with TC 46 and/or TC 86.
