BS EN 61076-3-118:2010 Connectors for electronic equipment. Product requirements. Part 3-118: Rectangular connectors. Detail specification for a 4 pole + PE power connector with push-pull coupling
This part of IEC 61076 establishes specifications and test requirements for a connector with
four contacts plus PE contact, for use in industrial environments.
NOTE For a definition of PE, see IEV, for example IEV 195-02-09.
This International Standard specifies free and fixed connectors, with round contacts, suitable
for screw or crimp terminations. Other terminations techniques, as solder or printed board
connections are upon agreement between manufacturer and user. The free and fixed
connectors have a push-pull locking mechanism for IP65 and IP67 protection according to
IEC 60529.
The PE contact is first-make last-break.
Connectors according this International Standard 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, if not otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
