Overview
This European Standard retains EN 61984:2001 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 A per contact and frequencies below 3 MHz used for indoor and outdoor applications in railway rolling stock. This European Standard 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 European Standard is not applicable to internal connections of electronic devices such as connectors for printed boards and rack-and-panel connectors. For connectors according to this specification, no certain values have been specified for electrical design, for example, voltage and current. The values shall be specified depending on the use in accordance with the mechanical conditions and environmental conditions indicated in the manufacturer specifications. The responsible committee is Subcommittee UK 351.1 "Fahrzeuge" ("Rolling stock") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
