Safety classification
1. General Remarks
These connectors are designed and produced in conformity with the
low voltage directive (73/23/EWG) respectively Gerätesicherheitsgesetz
(German law) and are especially in according with the standards
DIN
EN 61984 / IEC 61984 (VDE 0627); IEC 60664-1 (VSE 0110-1) and
IEC 60529. The connectors may be used only within the
technical ratings.
These connectors
with / without breaking capacity are designed and
produced according to DIN EN 61984/VDE0627.
All technical data refers to mated connectors under live conditions.
The safety of the connector system depends on the correct selection of
products, proper assembly of the connector device, and a precise fit of the
connectors.
2. Application Remarks
Connectors
with / without breaking capacity must be used according to
specified technical ratings.
The technical data represents the initial value of mated parts under
predetermined conditions and length of time.These values could change
with different test parameters or product requirements.
The 16-3 Series connectors are used in a wide variety of industries and
equipment. Some of these include industrial machines and controls,
data processing, instrumentation and test equipment, medical devices,
telecommunication’s network and equipment, plus outdoor and marine
applications.
All rated data for the connectors listed in this
catalogues are based
on over-voltage category III
1)
and pollution degree 3
2)
for electronic
applications.
Connectors were completely mated according to their respective safety
locking mechanism. Selection and testing of connectors
with / without
breaking capacity
to meet specific product or industrial requirements such
as rated voltage and the related clearances and creepage distances are the
responsibility of the user.
3. Assembling Remarks
Protection against electrical shock of the termination of the connectors
shall be secured by correct mounting. Connectors of the same or different
series being mounted side by side may be protected against incorrect
mating by the use of coding options. Care must be taken to ensure the
parts are correctly mated and screws are tightened with the proper torque.
4. Termination Remarks
Cable connectors are effectively secured when using the internal cable
clamp. When the connector contains a simple gland bushing for retention
without clamping ring the cable should have a strain relief close behind
the connector. All cable properties or specifications must be compatible
with the connector design and materials.
Designated wire conductors must be terminated to the correct poles in the
connector.
Crimp contacts must be fully inserted into the plastic housing and
retention assured with a slight tug on the wire.
Wire should be stripped correctly according to printed specifications to
insure no electrical contact can be made between the conductors. There
should be no nicked or cut strains during the stripping action.
1)
Overvoltage category III: Equipment intended for the use in installations or parts of it in which lightning overvoltages do not need to be considered,
however switching overvoltages generated by the equipment, and for cases where the reliability and the availability of the equipment or its dependent
circuits are subject to special requirements. Examples are protecting means, switches and sockets.
2)
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs or dry non-conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is to be expected.
3)
Protection against electrical shock on the termination side has to be secured by proper mounting.
