Overview
This International Standard applies to non-insulated flat quick-connect terminations consisting of a male tab of size 2,8 mm, 4,8 mm, 6,3 mm or 9,5 mm with hole or dimple detents and a mating female connector. They are used as either an incorporated or an integrated part of an equipment or of a component, or as a separate entity. This standard establishes uniform requirements for the dimensions, performance characteristics and test program. The connected electrical copper conductors shall be flexible or rigid stranded, having a cross-sectional area up to and including 6 mm2 or rigid solid having a cross-sectional area up to and including 2,5 mm2. This standard shall not be used for connecting aluminium conductors. The rated voltage shall not exceed 1 000 V a.c. with a frequency up to and including 1 000 Hz, and 1 500 V d.c., and having the temperature limits applicable to materials used within this standard. The standard may also be used for conductors made of other materials as copper, where applicable, it is not applicable for locking female connectors. Flat quick-connect terminations according to this standard are not intended to be disconnected by pulling the line. The responsible Committee is K 415 "Klemmstellen und Klemmen für Niederspannung" ("Low-voltage clamping units and clamps") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
