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.

1. General Remarks
These connectors are designed and produced in conformity with the low
voltage directive (72/23/EWG) respectively Gerätesicherheitsgesetz and
according DIN VDE 57627 (German Law). 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.
If in special cases connectors can be used in the sense of plug and socket
devices, this is mentioned in the particular section.
2. Application Remarks
Connectors and/or plug and socket devices 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 C 16-1/16-3 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 catalog 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 and/or plug and
socket devices 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.
