This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Mating conditions changed, see Figure 2, Figure 4, Figure 13, Figure 15, Figure 19 and Figure 21. b) Voltage proof requirement added, 2 250 V DC, see 5.7.2. c) Mechanical shock requirement added, see 5.7.6 (the requirement itself already was specified indirectly by Ed1 due to the specification of the test EP3 of Table 14 which is still identical to Ed1). d) Styles added, 6P-M8CI and 6J-M8CI, see Table 1.

IEC 61076-2-011:2021 describes the bayonet coupling interface of circular connectors that are typically used for industrial process measurement and control. These connectors consist of fixed and free connectors either rewireable or non-rewireable, with bayonet-coupling. These connectors may have glass to metal seal inserts. They have male or female contacts and are deemed to be intermateable with corresponding free connectors produced according to this document. Male connectors have round contacts Ø 0,6 mm, Ø 0,76 mm, Ø 0,8 mm and Ø 1,0 mm.
Different codings prevent the mating of these individually coded fixed connectors (and consequently of individually coded free connectors deemed to couple with them) to other interfaces and cross-mating between the different codings. However, the styles and interface dimensions, except for the coupling mechanism, are as given in 4.3 of IEC 61076-2- 101:2012 and 4.3.1 of IEC 61076-2-109:2014.
The male type B12 circular connectors are interoperable with the female type B12 connector of the same coding and ways. The female type B12 connectors are interoperable with the male type B12 and M12 (threaded screw coupling) connector of the same coding and ways.

IEC 63171-2:2021 covers 2-way, shielded or unshielded, free and fixed connectors for data transmission up to 600 MHz, with current-carrying capacity, known as Type 2. It specifies the common dimensions, mechanical, electrical and transmission characteristics and environmental requirements as well as test specifications respectively. The form factor of these connectors allows their use for cable sharing with already installed TO’s for structured cabling. The overall performance of the transmission channel in such case has to be evaluated. Intermateable and interoperable versions for circular connector for sealed applications including this connector are described in IEC 63171-5. The shielded and unshielded connectors are interoperable for their internal transmission performance and can be exchanged. The shielded version has improved alien crosstalk and coupling attenuation properties.

IEC 61076-2-010:2021 specifies circular connectors with a push-pull locking mechanism of a size derived from, and thus being compatible with M12 screw-locking connectors (free connectors with screw-locking according to IEC 61076-2-101, IEC 61076-2-109, IEC 61076-2-111 or IEC 61076-2-113 are compatible with push‑pull fixed interfaces according to this document) and with mating interfaces according to IEC 61076-2-101, IEC 61076-2-109, IEC 61076-2-111 (except codings E in general and coding F for inner push-pull) or IEC 61076-2-113.
A fixed connector with push-pull locking according to this document is intermateable with a correspondingly coded free connector with M12 screw-locking according to any of the above mentioned standards.
M12 is the dimension of the thread of the screw-locking mechanism of circular connectors with M12 screw-locking.
IEC 61076-2-012 defines another inner push-pull for fixed female connectors which is however not compatible to the inner push-pull defined in this document. Annex C shows the different styles of female free connectors to extend male free connectors.
This document covers both:
a) power connectors with current ratings up to 16 A and voltage ratings up to 630 V, typically used for power supply and power applications in industrial premises, and
b) connectors for data and signal transmission with frequencies up to 500 MHz.
These connectors consist of both, fixed and free connectors, either rewirable or non-rewirable, with M12 push-pull locking as explained above. Male connectors have round contacts from Ø 0,6 mm up to Ø 1,5 mm. In addition, the push-pull mechanisms consist of 2 different push-pull designs:
c) An outer push-pull for male and female fixed connector, where the locking groove is placed onto the outer cylindric surface of the housing. The outer push-pull for female fixed connectors is made for 2 different types of male connectors. It has locking means for both types on its outer surface.
For design and dimensions see 5.3.2 and 5.3.3.
d) An inner push-pull for female fixed connectors and for male free connectors, where the locking means are placed onto the inner cylindric surface of the housing.
For design and dimensions see 5.3.4.
The different codings provided by IEC 61076-2 series detail specifications mentioned within this document prevent the mating of accordingly coded male or female connectors to any other similarly sized interfaces, covered by other standards and the cross-mating between the different codings provided by any other IEC 61076-2 series detail specification mentioned within this document.

IEC 61076-3-123:2019. covers hybrid rectangular connectors with a 3 poles 16 A electric portion for power supply and a duplex fibre optic connector type LC portion for data transmission.
These connectors consist of fixed and free connectors, either rewirable or non-rewirable (for both portions) and use the rectangular push-pull housing described in IEC 61076-3-117 with IP65/IP67 degree of protection, for harsh applications.
The mating dimensions of such housings allow fulfilling the performance class Category I according to IEC 61753-1-3 in regards to the fibre optic portion of the connector with the exception of the operating temperature range which is –25 °C/+70 °C.
The electric portion may have different rated insulation voltages. Male connectors have 3 electric round contacts Ø1,6 mm, with 16 A rated current.
The fibre optic portion provides data transmission by using the common mating configurations for all variants of the type LC duplex fibre optic connectors as defined in IEC 61754-20, for dedicated fibre types and fibre termination technology covered therein.
The different codings provided by this document prevent the mating of accordingly coded male or female connectors to any other similarly sized interfaces covered by other standards and the cross-mating between the different codings provided by this document.

IEC 60512-23-3:2018 is available as IEC 60512-23-3:2018 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60512-23-3:2018. defines a standard test method for measuring the shielding effectiveness SE of a shielded connector, or of a connector not provided with integral shield once fitted with a shielding accessory and terminated with a screened cable. The complete assembly has a continuous 360° shielding capability throughout its length. This test method can be applied to shielded connectors and to connector accessories with shielding capability. The following different connector designs can be tested:
- circular connectors;
- rectangular connectors;
- connectors for printed boards;
- connector shielding accessories.
This test method utilizes the principle that the intrinsic shielding property of the connector/ accessory/cable assembly is its surface transfer impedance ZT which can be expressed as the longitudinal voltage inside the shield, relative to the current flow on the outside shell. This test is also suitable for measuring the shielding effectiveness of a connector fitted with triaxial contacts terminated with shielded, twisted pair cables, as used in data bus systems. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2000. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) an introduction has been added to provide some guidance to this document in view of concurrent test method 23g in the same family;
b) the frequency range for which this test method is considered reliable moved from 1 GHz to 3 GHz, to be consistent with Figure 7 (unchanged) and current industry practice and need;
c) update to IEC 62153-4-6:2017 of former normative reference IEC 60096-4-1:1990, withdrawn and incorrect (should have been IEC 61196-1:1995, also withdrawn);
d) update to current subclause numbers of IEC 62153-4-6:2017 what were the previous subclause numbers referenced in IEC 61196-1:1995 (wrongly attributed to IEC 60096-4-1:1990). For immediate understanding the title of these subclauses has been added;
e) alignment of title to the current scope of SC 48B (connectors) and inclusion of electrical equipment as target application of said connectors (per current scope of TC 48) and explicit reference to the method – line injection – for the measurement of transfer impedance;
f) symbols SE for shielding effectiveness and ZT for surface transfer impedance added throughout the document;
g) list of connectors to which the test method is applicable – previously in 3.1 – moved in scope;
h) former name of AECMA organization changed to the current ASD-STAN;
i) “specimen” used instead of “sample” throughout the document;
j) clarification in the title of what transfer impedance is described in Table 3 and editorial improvement of the same;
k) “dielectric constant” changed into the updated term “relative permittivity”;
l) added a note to warn about the fact that this test method requires in 6.6 a TDR with more stringent rise time of less than 100 ps than the value of less than 350 ps specified both in IEC 62153-4-6 and in EN 50289-1-6 for the similar line injection method applied to screened cables, whereas test 23g of IEC 60512-23-7 specifies for the same purpose a TDR with a rise time of less than 200 ps;
m) adoption of term “connector housing” [IEV 581-27-10] instead of “shell” to address the connector accessory providing the shielding;
n) title “Transfer impedance ZT [Ω]” added to the ordinate axis on the left side of double log diagram of Figure 7;
o) explanatory note to clarify the conversion formula for SE from ZT added.
