19、NSI_IEC C81.64-2005) This American National Standard, Guidelines and General Information for Electrical Lamp Bases, Lampholders and Gauges, ANSI_IEC C81.64-2005, gives guidance and information to designers and testing personnel on the use of ANSI_IEC C81.61-2003, ANSI_IEC C81.62-2003 and ANSI_IEC C8
20、1.63-2004. This revision takes into account the work done by the ANSI C81 committees to adopt IEC standard sheets from for IEC 60061-1, 60061-2 and 60061-3 and adopts, in large part, IEC 60061-4 with certain United States deviations. It includes the designation system, a guide to the selection of ba
21、ses and general information regarding bases, lampholders and gauges. Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the Secretary of Committee C81. American National Standard Lighting Group, 1300 North 17thStreet, Suite 1752, Rosslyn, VA 22209. This standard was
22、 processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by Accredited Standards Committee on Electric Lamp Bases and Holders, C81. Committee approval of the standard does not necessarily imply that all committee members voted for its approval. Information concerning the approval of this standard is based on t

24、 NEMA Page 4 of 24ANSI_IEC C81.64-2005 Revision and Redesignation of ANSI C81.64-1993 Part 1 General 1 Scope This American National Standard gives guidance and information to designers and testing personnel on the use of ANSI_IEC C81.61, ANSI_IEC C81.62 and ANSI_IEC C81.63 and their supplements. It
25、includes the designation system and general information regarding bases (caps), lampholders and gauges. Many parts of this standard reference the adopted parts of IEC 60061-4 Lamp Caps and Holders Together with Gauges for Control of Interchangeability and Safety-Part 4: Guidelines and General Inform
26、ation. This standard is intended for use by standards engineers. In those cases where new proposals have to be prepared, so as to achieve uniformity in base/lampholder/gauge standards and testing procedures. It contains information from ANSI and the IEC in regard to bases (caps) and holders in gener
27、al use today, together with their relevant gauges. The gauges illustrated, although generally accepted in principle, are not necessarily the only form in which they can be made. This standard is applicable to bases, lampholders and gauges with the object of securing international interchangeability
28、and safety. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions, which through reference in this text constitute provisions of this American National Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreement
29、s based on this American National Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below.

36、 mounted on finished lamps, and for the corresponding sizes of screw-shell lampholders. In IEC 60061-4 the word “cap“ is used instead of the common North American term “Base“.

37、ndard Lighting Group - NEMA Page 6 of 24ANSI_IEC C81.64-2005 Revision and Redesignation of ANSI C81.64-1993 In IEC standards, the decimal point (.) is not used in dimensions; rather a comma (,) separates a decimal number e.g. 4,5 rather than 4.5. However, in the designation of a fit, the decimal poi
38、nt is used e.g. GY6.35. The screw shells used for plug-type fuses and fuse-holders employ the same thread form and the same thread dimensions as the medium (E26) size of lampholder and un-mounted base. See Standard Sheets 7004-21A-2 and 7005-21A-1 of IEC 60061-1 and 60061-2 for further details. 4.2
39、Form of Thread The screw thread as used on either the base or the holder has a theoretical cross section consisting of two circular segments, which are tangent to each other and have essentially equal radii. The contour of the threads and the general relationship of the diameter limits are shown in
40、IEC 60061-4 section 7007-11-2. 4.3 Gauging of Thread Dimensions 4.3.1 General Specific information for gauge design is described in detail in IEC 60061-4 section 7007-10-1. General information is given in 4.3.2 through 4.3.4. 4.3.2 Bases Two “go“ gauges of the threaded type are generally specified,
41、one for un-mounted bases and one for bases mounted on finished lamps. These gauges check simultaneously the maximum of both the major and minor diameters. They also check the minimum length of the threaded section of the base (dimension T or T1as appropriate). Each size of threaded gauge should have
42、, as a reference, a threaded master plug for checking it. One “not-go“ unthreaded ring gauge is specified. It is used both for un-mounted bases and for bases mounted on finished lamps. This gauge checks the minimum major diameter. The minimum minor diameter is not specified in the standard and, ther
43、efore, no means is provided for checking it. 4.3.3 Lampholders A “go“ gauge of the threaded plug type should be specified. This gauge checks simultaneously the minimum of both the major and minor diameters. It also checks the minimum and maximum depth from the top of the threaded shell to the depres
44、sed center contact. A “not-go“ unthreaded plug gauge is specified. This gauge checks the maximum minor diameter. Copyright 2005 by American National Standard Lighting Group - NEMA Page 7 of 24ANSI_IEC C81.64-2005 Revision and Redesignation of ANSI C81.64-1993 The maximum major diameter is not specif
45、ied in the standard and, therefore, no means is provided for checking it. 4.3.4 Bases and lampholders No gauges are provided for checking the thread form of either the base or the holder. The contour may, however, be examined on an optical comparator or similar equipment. There should not be any per
46、ceptible shoulder at the tangent point of the crest and root radii of the threaded gauges. The radii at the crest of the thread gauges shall not exceed the specified values but may be less by 0.001 inch (0.025 mm). Conversely, the radii at the root of the thread gauges shall be not less than the val
47、ues specified but may be greater by 0.001 inch (0.025 mm). 4.4 Contact-Making Gauges The specific gauges for use with each size of base or holder are described in detail in the Standard Sheets of ANSI_IEC C81.63, American National Standard for Gauges for Lamp Bases and Lampholders. The purpose of th
48、ese gauges is to assure that both the base and the holder have compatible diameters and lengths so that the base (on a finished lamp) can always be inserted into a holder far enough to make solid contact with the center electrical contact of the holder. The gauges are concerned not only with the len
49、gth of the threaded section of the shell, but also with the bulb shoulder size and shape (of the lamp) and with the entrance opening of the holder, to insure that there are no restrictions against entry of a finished lamp. 4.5 Notes on Principles of Dimensioning A “no-mans land“ is provided between the maximum base diameter and the minimum holder diameter. This is at least large enough to allow for two gauge-making tolerances (one base and one holder) witho
