IEC 60603-7:2008

Covers an 8-way connector system of 4, 6 or 8 contacts consisting of a range of free and fixed connectors. The connectors cover a variety of different mounting configurations and termination types with a common mating configuration. Fixed connectors ate provided with terminations suitable for solder, insulation displacement, screw terminal, crimp, insulation piercing termination, printed board mounting and flying leads. Free connectors are provided for crimp, insulation piercing and insulation displacement termination to cable assemblies with tinsel, stranded or solid wire conductors.

IEC 60603-7:2020 covers 8-way, unshielded, free and fixed connectors and is intended to specify the common dimensions (interface dimensions), mechanical, electrical and environmental characteristics and tests for the family of IEC 60603-7-x connectors. These connectors are intermateable (according to IEC 61076-1 level 2) and interoperable with other IEC 60603-7 series connectors. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, published in 2008, its Amendment 1:2011 and its Amendment 2:2019. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: - Revised the definitions for intermateability and interoperability; added new definitions. - Corrected dimension line for dimension AZ2 in Figure 5. - Corrected dimension line for dimension F1 in Figure A.1. - Revised the reference to ISO;IEC 11801 to ISO;IEC 11801-1. - Added lower limiting temperature and upper limiting temperature definitions. - Revised Table 1 to Table 8 so the column order is Minimum-Nominal-Maximum dimensions (ascending order). - Corrected Table 7: Climatic category and Upper temperature values to 90 °C (to be consistent with the graph in Figure 10 and Note 1 in Figure 10). - Revised the wording in 8.2, contact resistance, for clarification. - Revised Figure 11 and Figure 12 and the wording in the Key below for clarification. - Removed the sentences under the figure in the Introduction. - Added Annex E.
