Heavy-duty Connector Housing Protection Rating And Environmental Testing

IEC 60 heavy power connector Degrees of protection of enclosures

This international standard is identical to the European standard DIN EN and the earlier German standard DIN VDE. It specifies heavy duty wire connectors symbols, wire connector heavy duty conditions and classification of degrees of protection of enclosures for electrical equipment (e.g. heavy duty electric cable connectors), estimating the protection against foreign bodies and water. This protection standard is represented by the IP code.
IEC 60 heavy duty automotive electrical connectors Environmental testing

This international standard is identical to the European standard DIN EN. It contains the basic procedures and test intensity of heavy duty 12v connectors environmental tests. This test is used to prove the resistance of heavy duty 12 volt connectors components to the working environment when in use. Typical tests include: hot and cold, dry and wet, vibration and temperature changes.
