IEC 63171-1:2024
Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment - Part 1: Detail specification for 2-way, shielded or unshielded, free and fixed connectors - Mechanical mating information, pin assignment and additional requirements for Type 1 (copper LC style)
Abstract
IEC 63171-1:2024 is part of the IEC 63171 series which is a set of International Standards covering shielded or unshielded free and fixed connectors for balanced single-pair data transmission with current carrying capacity.
IEC 63171 is the general requirements and tests part (general specifications) of the whole series. Subsequent parts, such as this Part 1, are product detail specifications of the series IEC 63171 and do not duplicate information given in IEC 63171, but list only additional requirements. Each subsequent part is identified by a type of connector covered with the same number identifying the part. Some parts can describe more embodiments, with different connectors geometries (rectangular, circular), sharing the core element and the relevant features.
This part of IEC 63171 covers two-way, shielded or unshielded, free and fixed connectors known as Type 1, for balanced single-pair data transmission with frequencies up to 600 MHz and with current carrying capacity up to 2,0 A at 60 °C.
It specifies the common dimensions, and provides the mechanical, electrical, signal integrity, and environmental characteristics, the reliability specifications and corresponding tests for these connectors.
For the complete specifications regarding a connector of this series, both the general specification and the relevant detail specification are therefore required.
For the qualification of a connector of this series, both the general specification and the relevant detail specification shall be met.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision and includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
* Information on obtaining a license agreement was updated.
* Connector characteristics and test requirements were aligned with IEC 63171:2021 where applicable.
* Added requirements for Polarizing method (5.6.4) and Dynamic stress (5.6.5) to align with IEC 63171:2021.
* Added test group BP - Moisture (6.7.3.4) to align with IEC 63171:2021.
