What is BS EN IEC 63093-3about?

BS EN IEC 63093-3 is the third part of a multi-series of documents that specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical interchangeability for a preferred range of half pot-cores made of ferrite, intended to be used in inductive proximity switches. Half pot-cores for inductive proximity switches are also called PS-cores.

The selection of core sizes and shapes for BS EN IEC 63093-3 is based on the philosophy of including those sizes and shapes which are industry standards, either by inclusion in a national standard, or by broad-based use in industry.

Who is BS EN IEC 63093-3for?

BS EN IEC 63093-3 on ferrite cores is relevant to:

Ferrite core manufacturers and suppliers
Manufacturer of inductive proximity switches and sensors
Telecommunication industries
Electronics industry
Automation industry

Why should you use BS EN IEC 63093-3?

PS-cores are primarily suited for use in inductive proximity switches. The design of PS-cores is guided by:

Ratio of thickness
Location, design and dimension of the wire-ways, holes and slots
The diameter of the centre pole and centre pole hole

Keeping these considerations in mind, BS EN IEC 63093-3 provides you with a nomenclature of dimensions of PS-cores that ensures mechanical interchangeability of complete assemblies and wound coil formers.

BS EN IEC 63093-3 provides guidelines on the allowable limits of surface irregularities applicable to PS-cores in accordance with the relevant generic specification.

This part of IEC 63093 can also be considered as a sectional specification useful in the negotiations between ferrite core manufacturers and customers about surface irregularities.

As a manufacturer, compliance with BS EN IEC 63093-3 can assist with maintaining uniformity and consistency in quality and performance of inductive proximity switches for your specific engineering needs.

What’s changed since the last update?

BS EN IEC 63093-3:2020 supersedes BS EN 62323:2005, which is withdrawn. The following technical change is the addition of the limits surface irregularities.
