This part of IEC 61076‑8 describes free and fixed rectangular connectors, hereinafter referred to as "connector", with:

• 2P power plus 2P signal contacts;

• plastic housing with locking lever and four possible codings;

• 300 A rated current, 1 000 V DC rated voltage on the power section;

• 5 A rated current, 50 V DC rated voltage on the “first break, last make” signal section;

• individual shielding around each power contact with relevant shielding termination;

• IP65/IP68 degree of protection when mated and locked and IPXXB on both plug and receptacle parts when unmated,

for use in electrical and electronic equipment, including overall dimensions, interface dimensions, technical characteristics, performance requirements and test methods.

Connectors in accordance with this document are intended for use in class II equipment; hence, they are not equipped with PE contact.
