Potentiomètres utilisés dans les équipements électroniques - Partie 3: Spécification intermédiaire: Potentiomètres de précision rotatifs (IEC 60393-3:2023)

L’IEC 60393-3:2023 s’applique aux potentiomètres de précision rotatifs utilisés dans les équipements électroniques.
Le présent document a pour objet de prescrire les caractéristiques assignées et les caractéristiques préférentielles, de choisir dans l’IEC 60393-1 les procédures d’assurance de la qualité et les méthodes d’essai et de mesure appropriées, et de fixer les exigences de performance générales pour ce type de potentiomètres.
Le présent document fixe les exigences minimales de performance et les sévérités des essais.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:
a) révision de toutes les parties du document en s’appuyant sur les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2:2018 (huitième édition) et harmonisation avec d’autres types de documents similaires;
b) organisation de la structure du document pour suivre la nouvelle structure de spécification intermédiaire décidée au sein du CE 40;
c) révision des informations relatives au niveau d’assurance de la qualité EZ (zéro non‑conformité).

Potenciometri za elektronsko opremo - 3. del: Področna specifikacija: Natančni rotacijski potenciometri (IEC 60393-3:2023)

Ta del standarda IEC 60393 se uporablja za natančne rotacijske potenciometre za elektronsko opremo. Cilj tega dokumenta je predpisati prednostne vrednosti in lastnosti, izbrati primerne postopke za ovrednotenje kakovosti, preskuse in merilne metode iz standarda IEC 60393-1 ter podati splošne zahteve glede zmogljivosti za ta tip potenciometra.
Ta dokument podaja minimalne zahteve glede zmogljivosti in preskusne stopnje.
