Overview
EN IEC 63171-5:2022 - Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment - Part 5 - is the CLC-adopted detail specification for 2‑way M8 and M12 circular connectors (Type 5). The standard covers shielded and unshielded, free (plug) and fixed (socket) variants intended for balanced single‑pair data transmission (up to 600 MHz) and power use (current carrying capacity up to 4 A) in harsh environmental conditions. It defines mechanical mating information, pin assignment, coding to prevent mismating, and additional Type 5 requirements within the IEC 63171 series.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Mechanical mating information: engagement direction, fixed and free connector styles, male/female interface details and mounting/gauge information.
- Pin assignment and contact types: two‑way arrangements, male contacts with square cross‑section suitable for data and power.
- Transmission and electrical characteristics: insertion loss, return loss, propagation delay, transverse conversion metrics, shielding transfer impedance (shielded versions), and insulation/voltage proof requirements.
- Current and thermal: current‑carrying capacity specification and derating guidance.
- EMC and shielding: interoperability between shielded and unshielded versions for internal transmission; shielded connectors offer improved EMC and coupling attenuation.
- Mechanical characteristics and tests: insertion/withdrawal forces, retention, coupling effectiveness and climatic category classification for harsh environments.
- Coding and interoperability: coding schemes to prevent mating with other interfaces; Type 5 is interoperable with Type 2 (IEC 63171‑2) except for outer shell locking/sealing differences.
- Standards references for form and locking: M12 dimensions and thread per IEC 61076‑2‑101; M8 per IEC 61076‑2‑104. Alternative locking mechanisms per IEC 61076‑2‑010 or IEC 61076‑2‑011 are permitted.

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.

記事のタイトル：SIST EN IEC 63171-5:2022 - 電気および電子機器用コネクタ - 第5部：2方向M8およびM12円形コネクタの詳細仕様、シールドまたは非シールド、自由および固定 - 機械的接合情報、ピン配置およびタイプ5（IEC 63171-5：2022）に対する追加要件 記事の内容：このIEC 63171の一部では、2方向のM8およびM12スタイルのシールドまたは非シールドの円形コネクタについて説明しています。これらのコネクタは、通常、600 MHzまでのデータ伝送および最大4 Aの電流を扱うために使用され、過酷な環境条件下で使用されます。これらのコネクタは、ワイヤ接続または非ワイヤ接続の固定および可動式のコネクタであり、データおよび電力伝送のための四角い断面の接点を持っています。 M12は、このサイズの円形コネクタのスタイルとねじロック機構の寸法をIEC 61076-2-101に従って説明しています。M8は、このサイズの円形コネクタのスタイルとねじロック機構の寸法をIEC 61076-2-104に従って説明しています。IEC 61076-2-010またはIEC 61076-2-011による代替のロック機構の使用も可能です。 この規格で提供されるコーディングは、同じくこのまたは他の規格でカバーされる同様のサイズのインターフェースと対応するようにコーディングされた男性または女性のコネクタを他の接続しないようにしています。 これらのタイプ5のコネクタは、IEC 63171-2によって定義されたタイプ2のコネクタと互換性がありますが、外側のシェルによって提供されるロックおよびシールシステムが異なります。 シールドと非シールドのコネクタは内部の伝送性能が互換性があり、交換することができます。シールドバージョンはEMCおよびカップリング特性が向上しています。 このIEC 63171シリーズのこの部分はタイプ5のコネクタをカバーしています。このシリーズのすべてのコネクタは、異なる機械的インターフェースを使用しながら、IEC 63171:2021で定義されたとおりの同じ機能を提供するとみなされます。
The article discusses the specifications for connectors used in electrical and electronic equipment, specifically focusing on 2-way M8 and M12 circular connectors. These connectors can be shielded or unshielded and are designed for data transmission up to 600 MHz and current up to 4 A. They are suitable for use in harsh environments. The connectors can be rewirable or non-rewirable and have square cross-section contacts for data and power transmission. The dimensions and locking mechanisms for M8 and M12 connectors are described according to relevant standards. The connectors are coded to prevent mating with incompatible interfaces. Type 5 connectors are interoperable with Type 2 connectors except for the locking and sealing system. The shielded and unshielded versions of the connectors have similar internal transmission performance and can be exchanged. The article emphasizes that all connectors in the IEC 63171 series provide the same functions but use different mechanical interfaces.
