Railway applications - Rolling stock - Electrical connectors, requirements and test methods

Scope

This Technical Specification retains EN 61984 as the minimum performance requirements for railway rolling stock electrical connectors. It identifies additional terms, test methods and performance requirements for single-pole and multipole connectors with rated voltages up to 1 000 V, rated currents up to 125 V per contact and frequencies below 3 MHz used for indoor and outdoor applications in railway rolling stock. This Technical Specification identifies the application levels for electrical connectors based on: – the severity of the service conditions in different rolling stock technologies; – the intended use of the rolling stock; – the location of the connector in the rolling stock system. This Technical Specification is not applicable to internal connections of electronic devices such as connectors for printed boards and rack-and-panel connectors.
