BS EN 61076-3-104:2017

What is BS EN 61076-3-104 - Free and fixed connectors about?

BS EN 61076-3-104 is the third part of the connectors for electrical and electronic equipment. This BS EN 61076-3-104 specifies the characteristics and test methods of fixed and free connectors that are useful in transmitting the data.

BS EN 61076-3-104 establishes uniform specifications, type testing requirements for 8-way, shielded free and fixed connectors for data transmissions with frequencies up to 2 000 MHz, and used as category 7A connectors in class FA cabling systems specified in ISO/IEC 11801-1. BS EN 61076-3-104 contains all test methods and sequences, severity and preferred values for dimensions and characteristics.

Who is BS EN 61076-3-104 - Free and fixed connectors for?

BS EN 61076-3-104 on Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment is useful for:

• Manufacturers of electronic devices
• Manufacturers of automotive parts
• Electrical engineers
• Manufacturers of circuits

Why should you use BS EN 61076-3-104 - Free and fixed connectors?

Connectors are electromechanical devices that are used to join electronic connectors and help in creating electrical circuits. 

Using BS EN 61076-3-104 guidelines, you can determine the current-carrying capacity and evaluate the performance level of the free and fixed connectors. BS EN 61076-3-104 best practice guidance helps in resisting initial and shield contact, input-output and is also useful in insulation resistance. 

BS EN 61076-3-104 specifies the technical, mechanical and electrical characteristics of the free and fixed connectors used for electronic equipment. With the help of BS EN 61076-3-104, you can conduct the test methods as outlined. Applying BS EN 61076-3-104 you can manufacture good quality connectors used in electronic equipment.
