SIST EN IEC 60512-11-1:2019

Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment - Tests and measurements - Part 11-1: Climatic tests - Test 11a - Climatic sequence (IEC 60512-11-1:2019)

This part of IEC 60512, when required by the detail (product) specification, is used for testing
connectors within the scope of IEC technical committee 48. This test may also be used for
similar devices (i.e. when the degradation mechanisms are the same) when specified in a detail
(product) specification.
The object of this test is to define a standard test method to assess the ability of connectors to
function in a specified manner, in a specified environment which might be encountered during
normal use, including storage.
This document provides a standard composite test method for determining the suitability of
connectors when subjected to environmental conditions consisting of a sequence of
temperature, humidity and, where required, low air pressure environmental stresses.
The order of application of the stresses and the conditions for the change from one step to the
next have been chosen to accelerate, amplify and allow potential interactions of degradation
mechanisms of the same type as those observed under natural climatic conditions.
In this composite test, connector specimens are exposed to environmental tests in a standard
order and categorized according to their climatic category as assigned by the detail (product)
specification, except that the third group of digits is used as an indication of the number of
cycles in step 5 of the damp heat cyclic test according to IEC 60512-11-12.
Where any modification is necessary, the relevant connector detail (product) specification
provides the necessary information for each step in the method.
This test is frequently specified to follow other tests involving mechanical stress, for example
tests for robustness of terminations, solderability, shock and vibration, as a means of
determining whether the sealing of the specimen has been damaged.

Connecteurs pour équipements électriques et électroniques - Essais et mesures - Partie 11-1: Essais climatiques - Essai 11a - Séquence climatique (IEC 60512-11-1:2019)

IEC 60512-11-1:2019 est utilisée, lorsque la spécification particulière (de produit) l'exige, pour soumettre à l'essai des connecteurs qui entrent dans le domaine d'application du comité d'études 48 de l'IEC. Cet essai peut aussi être utilisé sur des dispositifs similaires (c'est-à-dire lorsque les mécanismes de dégradation sont les mêmes) lorsqu'une spécification particulière (de produit) l'indique.
L'objet de cet essai est de définir une méthode d'essai normalisée pour évaluer l'aptitude des connecteurs à fonctionner de manière spécifiée dans un environnement spécifié qui pourrait être rencontré dans des conditions normales d'utilisation, y compris le stockage.
Le présent document fournit une méthode d'essai composite normalisée pour déterminer l'aptitude des connecteurs soumis à des conditions d'environnement consistant en une séquence de contraintes climatiques comportant température, humidité, et si cela est exigé, basse pression.

Konektorji za električno in elektronsko opremo - Preskusi in meritve - 11-1. del: Klimatski preskusi - Preskus 11a - Klimatsko zaporedje (IEC 60512-11-1:2019)

Ta del standarda IEC 60512 se uporablja, če tako zahteva podrobna specifikacija (izdelka), za preskušanje konektorjev na področju uporabe določil tehničnega odbora IEC 48. Ta preskus se lahko uporablja tudi za podobne naprave (npr. če imajo enak mehanizem degradacije), če je tako določeno v podrobni specifikaciji (izdelka).
Cilj tega preskusa je, da določi standardno preskusno metodo za oceno zmožnosti konektorjev, da delujejo na določen način, v določenem okolju, kot bo to pri običajni uporabi, vključno s shranjevanjem.
Ta dokument zagotavlja standardno sestavljeno preskusno metodo za določanje primernosti konektorja, izpostavljenega okoljskim pogojem, ki so sestavljeni iz zaporedja okoljskih obremenitev, kot so temperatura, vlažnost in (če je to ustrezno) nizek zračni tlak.
Vrstni red izpostavljanja obremenitvam in pogojem za spremembo iz enega koraka v drugega je bil izbran tako, da pospeši, poveča ter omogoči morebitne interakcije enakih mehanizmov degradacije, kot so tisti, do katerih pride pri naravnih podnebnih razmerah.
Pri sestavljenem preskusu so konektorski preskušanci izpostavljeni okoljskim preskusom v standardnem vrstnem redu in so kategorizirani glede na njihove podnebne kategorije, kot je to določeno v podrobni specifikaciji (izdelka), vendar pa je tretja skupina številk uporabljena kot oznaka števila ciklov v 5. koraku preskusa s ciklično vlažno vročino v skladu s standardom IEC 60512-11-12.
Če so potrebne spremembe, podrobna specifikacija ustreznega konektorja (izdelka) podaja potrebne informacije za vsak korak metode.
Ta preskus je pogosto določen tako, da sledi drugim preskusom mehanskih obremenitev, na primer preskusom robustnosti priključkov, preskusom primernosti za spajkanje ali preskusom z udarci in vibracijami, kot sredstvo za določanje, ali je tesnitev preskušanca poškodovana.

Part 11-1: Climatic tests – Test 11a – Climatic sequence

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 60512-11-1 has been prepared by sub-committee 48B: Electrical
connectors, of IEC technical committee 48: Electrical
