Electrical connectors are used to join electrical conductors to create an electrical circuit. BS EN 62197-1 is a part of an international multi-series standard that focuses on aspects of connectors for electronic equipment. BS EN 62197-1 establishes uniform testing requirements to support quality assessment procedures for connectors.
BS EN 62197-1 is applicable to a family of connectors for use in electronic and electrical equipment; connectors designed for use at radio frequencies are not covered. BS EN 62197-1 discusses technical information, quality assessment procedures, test and test schedules for connectors.
BS EN BS EN 62197-1 on the generic specification for connectors is useful for:
Electronic equipment is used in applications that rely on mechanical or electric systems for their operation. They are essential to any work on electronics systems for creating signals and capturing responses from electronic devices. There are certain specifications regarding the performance of electronic equipment. Electrical connectors are manufactured for power, data, and audio-visual applications. They can be differentiated by their specific method of connection, pinout, size, materials, contact resistance, mechanical durability, ingress protection, insulation and lifetime.
BS EN 62197-1 provides you with user-friendly technical information that gives you a wider perspective on connectors. BS EN 62197-1 discusses the quality assessment procedures of connectors that help users to manufacture highly efficient electrical connectors. BS EN 62197-1 also provides users with test schedules to verify the performance characteristics of connectors which ensures their reliability.
The guidelines in BS EN 62197-1 provide you with the standardized generic specification for connectors that enable you to provide a superior quality product to your customers.
