BS EN 60512-4-1:2003

What is BS EN 60512-4-1 - Assessing the voltage stress tolerance of connectors about? 

Electrical connectors are used to join electrical conductors to create an electrical circuit. BS EN 60512-4-1, when required by the detail specification, is used for testing connectors of electronic equipment within the scope of IEC technical committee 48. This test may also be used for similar devices when specified in a detailed specification.

The object of BS EN 60512-4-1 is to define a standard test method to determine the ability of a component to withstand specified test voltages applied in a specified manner.

Note: Standard conditions of testing are defined in Part 1 of BS EN 60512.
