Railway applications. Rolling stock. Electrical connectors, requirements and test methods. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European Standard retains EN 61984:2001 as the minimum performance requirements for railway rolling stock electrical connectors. It identifies additional terms, test methods and performance requirements for single-pole and multipole connectors with rated voltages up to 1 000 V, rated currents up to 125 A per contact and frequencies below 3 MHz used for indoor and outdoor applications in railway rolling stock. This European Standard identifies the application levels for electrical connectors based on

• – the severity of the service conditions in different rolling stock technologies,
• – the intended use of the rolling stock,
• – the location of the connector in the rolling stock system.

This European Standard is not applicable to internal connections of electronic devices such as connectors for printed boards and rack-and-panel connectors.
