BS EN IEC 60512-99-003:2023

This standard BS EN IEC 60512-99-003:2023 Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment. Tests and measurements is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.100.01 Components for electrical equipment in general
• 13.220.40 Ignitability and burning behaviour of materials and products

IEC 60512-99-003:2023 is used for the assessment of connectors within the scope of SC 48B that are used in balanced single-pair communication cabling with remote power, in support of e.g., IEEE 802.3 remote powering applications for point-to-point connections. The object of this document is to detail a test schedule to determine the ability of sets of single-pair connectors as defined in the IEC 63171 series to withstand a minimum of 100 mechanical operations with electrical load, where an electrical current is being passed through the connector in accordance with IEC 60512-9-3 during the separation (unmating) step. This document does not cover multidrop powering applications of single-pair connectors.
