What is BS EN 61076-2-113 – Circular connectors about ?
BS EN 61076-2-113 is the second part of an international standard used for connectors that specifies the test methods and characteristics of the circular connectors. BS EN 61076-2-113 describes M12 circular connectors with two data pairs and power contacts with current ratings up to 12 A, that are typically used for data and power applications in industrial premises. These connectors consist of both fixed and free connectors either rewireable or non-rewireable, with screw-locking. Male connectors have round contacts diameters of 1,50 mm, 1,00 mm and 0,60 mm.
The different codings provided by BS EN 61076-2-113 prevent the mating of accordingly coded male or female connectors to any other similarly sized interfaces covered by other standards and the cross-mating between the different codings provided by this document.
Note: M12 is the dimension of the thread of the screw locking mechanism of these circular connectors.
Who is BS EN 61076-2-113 - Circular connectors for ?
BS EN 61076-2-113 on connectors for electronic equipment is useful for:
- Manufacturers of electronic devices
- Manufacturers of automotive parts
- Electrical engineers
- Manufacturers of circuits
Why should you use BS EN 61076-2-113 - Circular connectors ?
Connectors are electromechanical devices that are used to join electronic connectors and help in creating electrical circuits. These circular connectors are circular in cross-sections.
With the help of BS EN 61076-2-113, you can determine the current carrying capacity of the connectors. You can use the dimensions specified in BS EN 61076-2-113 to design and construct free and fixed connectors. The electrical characteristics help in contact resistance, insulation resistance and evaluating the performance of the circular connectors.
BS EN 61076-2-113 specifies the technical, mechanical and electrical characteristics along with the test methods and test procedures. Using BS EN 61076-2-113 best practice guidelines, you can manufacture good quality circular connectors.
