IEC 60512-11-1 Ed. 2.0 b:2019

Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment - Tests and measurements - Part 11-1: Climatic tests - Test 11a - Climatic sequence

IEC 60512-11-1:2019 when required by the detail (product) specification, is used for testing connectors within the scope of IEC technical committee 48. This test may also be used for similar devices (i.e. when the degradation mechanisms are the same) when specified in a detail (product) specification.
 The object of this test is to define a standard test method to assess the ability of connectors to function in a specified manner, in a specified environment which might be encountered during normal use, including storage.
 This document provides a standard composite test method for determining the suitability of connectors when subjected to environmental conditions consisting of a sequence of temperature, humidity and, where required, low air pressure environmental stresses.
