99 Introduction
100 This European Standard provides performance requirements and tests for low-voltage electrical connectors
101 deemed to be installed on board railway rolling stock, either indoors or outdoors. Safety requirements and
102 tests for electrical connectors are already covered in general by EN 61984:2001. The additional
103 requirements and testing of specific characteristics demanded by rolling stock applications are set out in this
104 European Standard. One goal of this European Standard is to avoid retesting of electrical connectors already
105 in compliance with EN 61984:2001 for those characteristics that have been assessed suitable also for use on
106 board rolling stock.
107 Among the additional requirements for use on board rolling stock, those that can be verified by
108 documentation of tests on the raw materials, are distinguished from those to be assessed by tests on the
109 component.
110 Due to the wide spectrum of existing and future specific rolling stock applications of electrical connectors,
111 this European Standard does not select any particular geometric configuration of connectors, nor establish
112 any particular values for electrical ratings such as voltage and current, or for any other characteristic.
113 All such details should be selected and agreed between the parties involved (e.g. manufacturer and user)
114 depending on the electrical, mechanical and environmental conditions expected in the intended use.
115 Annexes A and B of this European Standard provide guidance.
116 Upon agreement between the parties involved, this European Standard may be used in conjunction with
117 existing connector detail specifications for interchangeability purposes.
118 Other standards may be developed in future under the umbrella format of this European Standard, for
119 particular connector designs for applications on board rolling stock, to fix dimensions for interchangeability
120 and to set the additional requirements for specific applications that, due to complexity and variety, are left
121 here to agreement between parties involved.
122 This European Standard does not cover
123 - connectors with breaking capacity (CBCs) as defined in EN 61984:2001, 3.2, because on board rolling
124 stock connectors are not deemed to be operated (i.e. connected or disconnected) under load or when
125 live, either by means of procedures or by the presence of interlocks, as required by EN 50153:2002,
126 NOTE For the purpose of this European Standard connectors on board rolling stock are therefore considered as being always
127 without breaking capacity, therefore where needed for safety reasons, adequate procedures or interlocks (i.e. locking devices that
128 cannot be opened without the aid of a special tool) shall be provided in the end application.
129 - non-rewirable connectors as defined in EN 61984:2001, 3.5,
130 - automatic couplers, due to their additional mechanical complexity and the need for more specific
131 requirements and testing,
132 - inter-vehicle jumpers, as they are connector and cable assemblies whose characteristics depend on
133 those of both elements. Inter-vehicle connectors within the limits set in the scope of this European
134 Standard are therefore covered by the agreed choice of suitable mechanical and environmental
135 characteristics as defined by Annex B, and suggested by Annex C.

136 1 Scope
137 This European Standard retains EN 61984:2001 as the minimum performance requirements for railway
138 rolling stock electrical connectors.
139 It identifies additional terms, test methods and performance requirements for single-pole and multipole
140 connectors with rated voltages up to 1 000 V, rated currents up to 125 V per contact and frequencies below
141 3 MHz used for indoor and outdoor applications in railway rolling stock.
142 This European Standard identifies the application levels for electrical connectors based on
143 - the severity of the service conditions in different rolling stock technologies,
144 - the intended use of the rolling stock,
145 - the location of the connector in the rolling stock system.
146 This European Standard is not applicable to internal connections of electronic devices such as connectors
147 for printed boards and rack-and-panel connectors.
