IEC system of plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes - Part 2: Plugs and socket-outlets 15 A 125 V a.c. and 20 A 125 V a.c.

IEC 60906-2:2011 applies to the IEC system of plugs and socket-outlets rated 15 A 125 V a.c. and 20 A 125 V a.c. for household and similar purposes, for the connection of equipment to distribution systems having nominal voltages between 100 V and 130 V a.c. in so far as dimensional requirements are concerned. This third edition of IEC 60906-2 cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1997, and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes from the previous edition are as follows:- revision to tolerances on the slot dimensions;- incorporate a shorter maximum length of blade;- new dimensions to define the recess of electrical contacts;- new gage for inspection to verify dimensional compliance to protection from electrical shock during partial insertion and withdrawal of plug blades.

IEC system of plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes - Part 2: Plugs and socket-outlets 15 A 125 V a.c.

Applies to the IEC system of plugs and socket-outlets rated 15 A 125 V a.c. for household and similar purposes for the connection of equipment to distribution systems having nominal voltages between 100 V and 125 V a.c. in so far as dimensional requirements are concerned. The object of this part is to provide a standard for a safe, compact and practical IEC 125 V system of plugs and socket-outlets that could be accepted by many countries as their national standard, now or in in the near future. It is therefore recommended that any country in need of a new or replacement system for the nominal voltage range 100 V to 125 V a.c. adopt this standard as its only national standard.
