What is BS EN 61076-2-107 - Specifications for circular hybrid connectors about?
Electrical connectors are used to join electrical conductors to create an electrical circuit. BS EN 61076-2-107 describes circular M12 connectors typically used for industrial process measurement and control.
These connectors consist of fixed and free connectors with screw locking as well as adaptors. M12 is the dimension of the thread of the screw locking mechanism of these circular connectors. Throughout BS EN 61076-2-107 dimensions are in mm.
Male connectors have round electrical contacts Ø 1,0 mm and round optical contacts with the ferrule Ø 1,25 mm according to IEC 61754-20, grade 1 for:
- All-silica optical fibre cables
- Single-mode fibre 9/125 μm
- Multimode fibre 50/125 μm or 62,5/125 μm
Note: The connectors are suitable to connect two optic fibres and two electrical wires intended for power transmission to the optionally integrated transmitter and receiver, which BS EN 61076-2-107 does not specify.
