prEN IEC 61076-1:2026

This part of IEC 61076 establishes uniform specifications and technical information for connectors. It is applicable to the family of connectors for use in electrical and electronic equipment. It contains, or gives reference to, the terms, definitions, symbols, test schedules and information relating to connectors.
Connectors designed for use at radio frequencies are not covered.
It shall be used in conjunction with IEC GUIDE 109:2003 that advocates the need to minimize the impact of a product on the natural environment throughout the product life cycle.
It is understood that some materials permitted by this specification and in manufacturing and assembly processes may have a negative environmental impact. As technological advances lead to acceptable alternatives for these materials, they shall be eliminated from this specification. Inappropriate manufacturing processes should be replaced by a product design that features easy maintainability and disassembly.
In the event of conflict between this part of IEC 61076 and the sectional product specification, the requirements of the sectional product specification prevail.
