Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 7-4: Ancillary equipment - PCB terminal blocks for copper conductors (IEC 60947-7-4:2019)
This part of IEC 60947-7 specifies requirements for PCB terminal blocks primarily intended for
industrial or similar use.
Mounting and fixing on the printed circuit board is made by soldering, press-in or equivalent
methods to provide electrical and mechanical connection between copper conductors and the
printed circuit board.
This document applies to PCB terminal blocks intended to connect copper conductors, with or
without special preparation, having a cross-section between 0,08 mm2 and 300 mm2
(AWG 28-600 kcmil), intended to be used in circuits of a rated voltage not exceeding
1 000 V AC up to 1 000 Hz or 1 500 V DC.
NOTE 1 Large-cross-section terminal blocks are dedicated to the specific design of high-current PCBs. The range
up to 300 mm2 is kept to cover any possible application. Examples of high current PCBs and PCB terminal blocks
are shown in Annex C.
NOTE 2 AWG is the abbreviation of “American Wire Gage” (Gage (US) = Gauge (UK)).
1 kcmil = 1 000 cmil;
1 cmil = 1 circular mil = surface of a circle having a diameter of 1 mil;
1 mil = 1/1 000 inch.
This document can be used as a guide for special types of PCB terminal blocks with
components, such as disconnect units, integrated cartridge fuse-links and the like or with
other dimensions of conductors.
If applicable, in this document the term “clamping unit” is used instead of “terminal”. This is
taken into account in the case of references to IEC 60947-1.

Ta del standarda IEC 60947-7 določa zahteve za priključne bloke na tiskanih vezjih, ki so prvotno namenjeni za industrijsko ali podobno uporabo.
Nameščanje in pritrjevanje na tiskana vezja se izvaja s spajkanjem, tiskanjem ali ekvivalentnimi metodami, da se zagotovi električni in mehanski stik med bakrenimi vodniki in tiskanim vezjem.
Ta dokument se uporablja za priključne bloke na tiskanih vezjih za povezovanje bakrenih vodnikov, s posebno pripravo ali brez nje, s prerezom med 0,08 mm2 in 300 mm2 (AWG 28–600 kcmil), namenjene za uporabo v tokokrogih, katerih nazivna napetost ne presega 1000 V izmenične napetosti s frekvenco do 1000 Hz ali 1500 V enosmerne napetosti.
OPOMBA 1: Priključni bloki z velikim prerezom so namenjeni za specifično zasnovo tiskanih vezij z visokim tokom. Vključen je razpon do 300 mm2, ki obsega katero koli posebno vrsto uporabe. Primeri tiskanih vezij z visokim tokom in priključnih blokov na tiskanih vezjih so prikazani v dodatku C.
OPOMBA 2: AWG je okrajšava za »American Wire Gage« (Gage (ZDA) = Gauge (Združeno kraljestvo)).
1 kcmil = 1000 cmil;
1 cmil = 1 krožni promil = površina kroga s premerom 1 promil;
1 mil = 1/1000 palca.
Ta dokument je mogoče uporabljati kot vodilo za posebne vrste priključnih blokov na tiskanih vezjih s komponentami, kot so odklopne enote, vgrajeni taljivi vložki varovalk in podobni, ali z drugimi dimenzijami vodnikov.
V tem dokumentu se namesto izraza »terminal« uporablja izraz »pritrdilna enota«. To se upošteva pri sklicevanju na standard IEC 60947-1.

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 60947-7-4 has been prepared by subcommittee 121A: Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear, of IEC technical committee 121: Switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies for low voltage. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) additional test for PCB terminal blocks with clamping units, where contact pressure is transmitted through insulating materials; b) tightening torques for screws now given in Table 4 of this document (previously given in Table 4 of IEC 60947-1:2007); tightening torques added for an additional type of screw; c) new criteria for verification of contact resistance introduced; SIST EN IEC 60947-7-4:2019

PCB terminal blocks for copper conductors
1 Scope This part of IEC 60947-7 specifies requirements for PCB terminal blocks primarily intended for industrial or similar use. Mounting and fixing on the printed circuit board is made by soldering, press-in or equivalent methods to provide electrical and mechanical connection between copper conductors and the printed circuit board. This document applies to PCB terminal blocks intended to connect copper conductors, with or without special preparation, having a cross-section between 0,08 mm2 and 300 mm2 (AWG 28-600 kcmil), intended to be used in circuits of a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V AC up to 1 000 Hz or 1 500 V DC. NOTE 1 Large-cross-section terminal blocks are dedicated to the specific design of high-current PCBs. The range up to 300 mm2 is kept to cover any possible application. Examples of high current PCBs and PCB terminal blocks are shown in Annex C. NOTE 2 AWG is the abbreviation of “American Wire Gage” (Gage (US) = Gauge (UK)). 1 kcmil = 1 000 cmil; 1 cmil = 1 circular mil = surface of a circle having a diameter of 1 mil; 1 mil = 1/1 000 inch. This document can be used as a guide for special types of PCB terminal blocks with components, such as disconnect units, integrated cartridge fuse-links and the like or with other dimensions of conductors. If applicable, in this document the term “clamping unit” is used instead of “terminal”.
