BS EN 60127-6:2014
This standard BS EN 60127-6:2014 Miniature fuses is classified in these ICS categories:
- 29.120.50 Fuses and other overcurrent protection devices
This part of IEC 60127 is applicable to fuse-holders for miniature cartridge fuse-links according to IEC 60127‑2 and sub-miniature fuse-links according to IEC 60127‑3 for the protection of electric appliances, electronic equipment and component parts thereof, normally intended for use indoors.
Examples of fuse-holder types with different features are given in Table 1.
| 1 | Types of mounting |
| 1.1 | Panel and base mounting |
| 1.2 | Printed circuit board mounting |
| 2 | Methods of fastening |
| 2.1 | Methods of fastening on panel: |
| 2.1.1 | Fixing nut fastening (threaded nut) |
| 2.1.2 | Snap-in fastening: |
| 2.1.2.1 | Fuse-base with an integral spring system |
| 2.1.2.2 | Fuse-base with a separate spring-nut (a nut fabricated, e.g. from thin spring steel having an impression designed to accommodate the mating part) |
| 2.2 | Methods of fastening on printed circuit (PC) board: |
| 2.2.1 | Solder fastening |
| 2.2.2 | Plug-in fastening |
| 3 | Methods of insertion of the fuse-carrier into the fuse base |
| 3.1 | Screw insertion |
| 3.2 | Bayonet insertion |
| 3.3 | Plug-in insertion |
| 4 | Types of terminals |
| 4.1 | Screw terminals |
| 4.2 | Solder terminals |
| 4.3 | Quick connect terminals |
| 4.4 | Other solderless terminals: - crimp terminals - wire wrap terminals |
| 5 | Protection against electric shock |
| 5.1 | Fuse-holder without integral protection against electric shock |
| 5.2 | Fuse-holder with integral protection against electric shock |
| 5.3 | Fuse-holder with enhanced integral protection against electric shock |
This list is not intended to be comprehensive and fuse-holders which are not listed are not necessarily excluded from the scope.
This part of IEC 60127 applies to fuse-holders with:
-
a maximum rated current of 16 A; and
-
a maximum rated voltage of 1 500 V d.c. or 1 000 V a.c.; and
-
for use up to 2 000 m above sea-level, unless otherwise specified.
The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for safety and the assessment of electrical, mechanical, thermal and climatic properties of fuse-holders and the compatibility between fuse-holders and fuse-links.
