Overview
This standard covers rectangular IP65/IP67 connectors with 5 poles for electric power supply up to 16 A per pole. These connectors consist of fixed and free connectors, both either rewirable or non-rewirable. This document employs the general function principles of the push-pull connector housing system described in IEC 61076‑3‑117 with IP65/IP67 degree of protection according to IEC 60529 for harsh applications. Male connectors have pin contacts with square cross-section with 1 mm side. Connectors according to this document are without breaking capacity COC according to IEC 61984, therefore they are not intended to be engaged or disengaged in normal use when live or under load. Thus it is not intended that they be plugged or unplugged while live or under load during normal use, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer. The standard describes the dimensions of the components associated with a 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. The standard describes the dimensions of the components associated with a connection, the pin assignment, and the designation of the different designs. There are no restrictions on the scope of application of the document. The application of this document increases investment security for manufacturers and users, provides test laboratories and manufacturers with defined test specifications, and ensures compatibility across manufacturers.
