3、d is the English language version of EN60512-11-8:1999. It is identical with IEC60512-11-8:1995. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee EPL/48, Electromechanical components for electronic equipment, to Subcommittee EPL/48/2, Connectors for electronic equipment,
4、which has the responsibility to: aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related international and European developments and promulgate
5、them in the UK. A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary. From1January1997, all IEC publications have the number60000 added to the old number. For instance, IEC27-1 has been renumbered as IEC60027-1. For a period of time during the change o
6、ver from one numbering system to the other, publications may contain identifiers from both systems. Cross-references Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC standards normally include an annex which lists normative references to international publications with their corresponding Europea
7、n publications. The British Standards which implement these international or European publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled “International Standards Correspondence Index”, or by using the “Find” facility of the BSI Standards Electronic Catalogue. A Briti
8、sh Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front

26、tail specification. When the detail specification requires it, the specimens shall be mated and unmated as many times as specified, prior to the test. The test shall be performed on mated connectors or on unmated connectors with protective covers. 3 Test method 3.1 Initial measurements Initial measu
27、rements shall be made as specified by the detail specification. The specimen shall be subjected to test13a: Engaging and separating forces, of IEC512-7. (See also IEC68-2-68: Test L: Dust and sand.) 3.2 Conditioning 3.2.1 Test equipment The test chamber length, section and configuration shall be so
28、designed as to: avoid turbulent flows ahead of the test specimens and limit such flows as much as possible behind them; provide uniform distribution of solid particles within the airstream. The climatic test chamber shall be provided with control devices for maintaining the following within specifie
29、d limits throughout the test: jet density (opacity-measuring photoelectric cell systems are recommended); airflow speed; relative humidity and temperature around the specimen. The sand and dust used for the test shall be abrasives with the following characteristics. The particles shall contain betwe

32、hall define the number of cycles to be performed. Each cycle lasts2h and consists of four steps. a) Within30min, the test chamber shall be stabilised within the following limits: temperature: (30 3) C; relative humidity25%; air speed: the detail specification shall define a speed from3m/s to10m/s. T
33、he recommended speed is(3,0 0,3)m/s; concentration of the particles:(5 1,5)g/m 3 . b) The above conditions are maintained for30min. c) Within30min, the temperature shall be brought to(65 5) C, the other parameters remaining unchanged. d) The new conditions shall be maintained for1h. Unless otherwise
34、 specified, one cycle shall be performed for each position. Between two successive cycles, the temperature shall be reduced to(30 3) C within2h maximum. 3.2.4 Recovery After the test and to prevent the effects of moisture, dust shall be removed from the mated specimens by shaking, wiping or brushing
35、 but no blower or suction devices shall be used to remove dust that has ingressed into specimens. The specimens shall be allowed to recover as long as required for them to reach room temperature. 3.3 Final measurements and requirements (if applicable) Final measurements shall be made as specified by
36、 the detail specification. The specimens shall be subjected to test13a: Engaging and separating forces, recording the value of the first unmating. 4 Details to be specified Method of mounting and description of wiring of specimens Condition of specimens: mated or unmated with protective covers Numbe
