Electrical connectors are used to join electrical conductors to create an electrical circuit.
BS EN 60512-20-2 deals with the testing of electromechanical components within the scope of technical committee 48, when required by the detailed specification. This test in BS EN 60512-20-2 may also be used for similar components devices when specified in a detailed specification.
The object BS EN 60512-20-2 is to detail a standard method to assess the ability of a connector to withstand specified flame and vibration during a 20 min exposure by providing specified electrical performance for the first 6 min of exposure and preventing the flame from penetrating the fireproof bulkhead on which the connector is mounted throughout the test.
BS EN 60512-20-2 on assessing the fireproofness of 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.
BS EN 60512-20-2 walks you through the test method of measuring the fireproofness of connectors for electronic equipment. This includes:
The guidelines in BS EN 60512-20-2 help you assess the fireproofness of connectors for electronic equipment that enable you to provide a superior quality product to your customers.
