Scope

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.

Purpose

Project set up to manage the missed FA/parallel adoption in Europe. Adoption of the published standard in IEC in March 2025 Agreement. The IEC project was not automatically created in parallel with IEC. This project has been set up to manage the CENELEC Work Item.
