Steckverbinder für elektrische und elektronische Geräte - Produktanforderungen - Teil 2-116: Einzelspezifikation für Rundsteckverbinder der Größe 15 mit bis zu 3+PE-Leistungskontakten und Hilfskontakten, mit Bajonettverriegelung (IEC 61076-2-116:2022); Deutsche Fassung EN IEC 61076-2-116:2023
Overview
This part of IEC 61076-2 specifies circular connectors size 15 with bayonet-locking, with up to 3 power contacts with rated insulation voltage up to 630 V AC/DC and rated current up to 20 A, plus PE, and auxiliary contacts with rated insulation voltage up to 63 V AC/DC and rated current up to 10 A, that are typically used for industrial power supply and power applications, such as the feeding and control of asynchronous motors. These connectors consist of both fixed and free connectors either rewireable or non-rewireable, with bayonet-locking. Male connectors have round contacts with 1,6 mm diameter. Size 15 is the dimension of the inner contact carrier of the front face of the pin connector (dimension AG in Table 18). The standard describes the dimensions of the components belonging to a plug connection, the pluggability of the variants, and their installation dimensions. In addition, the associated climate classes, electrical, mechanical, and other characteristic values, and test programs are specified. These include: - electrical ratings and characteristic values; - current carrying capacity; - step systems; - classification into climate categories; - marking; - safety aspects; - dimensions and other characteristic values, as well as test plans. There are no restrictions on the scope of application of the document. The standard increases investment security for manufacturers and users, provides test laboratories and manufacturers with defined test specifications, and ensures compatibility across manufacturers.
