BS EN IEC 61076-8-102:2020

What is BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 about ?  

BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 is the eighth part of connectors for electrical and electronic equipment in multi-series. 

BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 describes 2-pole or 3-pole power plus 2-pole signal shielded and sealed connectors with a plastic housing (hereinafter referred to as a connector) for electrical and electronic equipment, including overall dimensions, interface dimensions, technical characteristics, performance requirements and test methods. 

Note: BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 is applicable to electrical connectors with sealing and shielding requirements meeting this document, with a rated voltage up to and including 750 V a.c. or 1 000 V d.c., and a current rating of 150 A, for applications in the field of electrical and electronic equipment. 

Who is BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 for ? 

BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 on Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment is useful for: 

• Manufacturer of electronic devices  
• Sound engineers 
• Electrical engineers  
• Quality and safety assurance 

Why should you use BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 ?  

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

BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 helps in resisting contact and insulation and also help in resisting salt mist corrosion. The standard copper wire used in connectors is helpful in sustaining the connectors in different climatic conditions and for a longer period. This BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 helps in measuring the clearance and creepage distance in connectors and helps in determining the performance and compatibility levels.   

Buying BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 will help you in designing 2-pole and 3-pole connectors. As interface dimensions along with the technical, electrical and mechanical characteristics are mentioned in BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102. With BS EN IEC 61076‑8‑102 you will be able to engage power contact in the mating process of connectors.
