BS EN IEC 63171-6:2020

What is BS EN IEC 63171‑6 about?  

BS EN IEC 63171‑6 is the sixth part of Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment in multi-series.  

BS EN IEC 63171‑6 covers 2-way and 4-way (data/power) shielded free and fixed connectors for data transmission with frequencies up to 600 MHz and specifies the common dimensions, mechanical, electrical and transmission characteristics and environmental requirements as well as test specifications respectively.  

Note: The connectors are intended to be used for single-pair Ethernet (SPE) according to the following IEEE Standards: 10BaseT1 (IEEE 802.3cg), 100Base-T1 (IEEE 802.3bw), 1000Base-T1 (IEEE 802.3bp), and optionally with Power over Data Line (PoDL) power supply according to IEEE 802.3bu. 

Who is BS EN IEC 63171‑6 for? 

BS EN IEC 63171‑6 on Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment is useful for: 

• Manufacturer of electronic devices  
• Sound engineers 
• Electrical engineers 
• Researcher and scientists 

Why should you use BS EN IEC 63171‑6?  

Electric connectors are electromechanical devices used to join electronic conductors. These connectors are used in creating electronic circuits.  

BS EN IEC 63171‑1 helps you to design the connectors which help in sustaining the connectors in different atmospheric conditions and for a longer period.  

BS EN IEC 63171‑1 helps in measuring the clearance and creepage distance in connectors and helps in determining the performance and compatibility levels. BS EN IEC 63171‑1 helps you to classify the electrical characteristics and help in contact resistance and insulation resistance.  

Buying BS EN IEC 63171‑1 helps you to classify the mechanical, electrical and technical characteristics. This characteristic further helps you in designing 2-way and 4-way (data/power) free and fixed connectors. The dimensions for connectors mentioned in BS EN IEC 63171‑1 helps you to engage power contact in the mating process of connectors.
