SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010

• Abstract:

  IEC 60512-23-2:2010 when required by the detail specification, is used for testing connectors within the scope of technical committee 48. It may also be used for similar devices when specified in a detail specification. The object of this standard is to detail a standard method to measure suppression characteristics (insertion loss) introduced by single and multiple circuit radio-frequency filters which are an integral part of a connector.

SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 60512-23-2:2010, which endorses IEC 60512-23-2:2010. It specifies a standard method for measuring the suppression characteristics, including insertion loss, of single- and multiple-circuit radio-frequency filters that are built into connectors. The document is used for connectors within the scope of IEC technical committee 48, and for similar devices when a detail specification calls for it.

What does SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 specify?

SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 specifies a test method for connectors with integral radio-frequency filters. The method applies when a detail specification requires this test and it is intended to give a repeatable way to measure filter suppression performance in practice.

The document is organized into:

• Clause 1 - Scope and object
• Clause 2 - Normative references
• Clause 3 - Preparation of the specimen
• Clause 4 - Measurement procedure
• Clause 5 - Requirements
• Clause 6 - Details to be specified
• Annex ZA - Normative references to international publications with corresponding European publications

Annex ZA links the referenced international publication to the European publication used for this standard.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010?

SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 focuses on how to prepare the connector, how to measure it, and what result is acceptable. In practice, this means the detail specification must define several test conditions so that the measurement can be repeated and compared.

Specimen preparation

Clause 3 requires the specimen to be unwired and mounted in a test fixture as described in the detail specification. This matters because the filter is being checked as part of the connector itself, not as part of a wired assembly.

Measurement method

Clause 4 states that suppression characteristics are measured according to CISPR 17, using test circuit A1 or A2 as relevant. For the user, this means the test setup is not free choice - it follows a named measurement method and one of two specified circuits.

Acceptance criterion

Clause 5 requires the measured suppression characteristics to be at least the minimum values stated in the detail specification. In practice, the pass/fail limit comes from the product-specific document, so the standard defines the method while the detail specification defines the target.

Information that must be specified

Clause 6 lists the details that the detail specification shall state:

• specimen preparation
• mounting of the specimen and test fixture details
• test frequency or frequency range
• load current, when required
• system impedance
• test method
• minimum values of insertion loss
• any deviation from the standard test method

This is important because the test result depends on frequency, impedance, loading, and fixture arrangement.

Intended application

The scope says the test is used for connectors within the scope of IEC TC 48, and it may also be used for similar devices when specified. That tells the reader when to apply the document and when a product-specific specification must activate it.

What terms does SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 define?

SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 uses these key terms in its test method:

• Detail specification - the product-specific document that decides whether the test is required and sets the test conditions and acceptance values.
• Suppression characteristics - the attenuation performance of the filter, expressed in this standard as insertion loss.
• Insertion loss - the loss measured through the integral filter when the test signal passes through it.
• Integral filters - filters that are built into the connector itself.
• Test fixture - the mounting arrangement used to hold the specimen during the measurement.
• System impedance - the impedance value to be used in the test setup, as specified for the product.
• Load current - the current applied when the detail specification requires it.

Who uses SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010?

SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 is used by connector manufacturers, test laboratories, and technical teams working on electronic equipment connectors. Quality managers and buyers use it when they need a defined way to verify the filtering performance of connectors with integral radio-frequency filters. It is also relevant to engineers writing detail specifications, because the standard tells them which test conditions they must state.

What changed in SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 cancels and replaces Test 23b of IEC 60512-9, issued in 1992. The foreword also says the IEC 60512 series structure is explained in IEC 60512-1-100.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010?

SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 uses these referenced and companion standards:

• CISPR 17:1981 - provides the measurement methods for suppression characteristics of passive interference filters and suppression components; Clause 4 requires the test to follow this standard, using circuit A1 or A2 as relevant.
• IEC 60512-1-100 - named in the foreword as the part that explains the structure of the IEC 60512 series, so it helps readers place this test within the wider connector test framework.

What does the SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 document contain?

SIST EN 60512-23-2:2010 contains a short, focused test method rather than a large design standard. It gives the specimen preparation rule, the measurement procedure, the acceptance requirement, and the list of information that must be defined in the detail specification. The document also includes Annex ZA, which connects the cited international reference to the European publication used in the EN system.

For practical use, the standard tells a laboratory how to mount the connector, which measurement standard to follow, and what result to compare against. For specification writers, it shows which test parameters must be fixed before testing starts.
