FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61076-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Connectors, of
IEC technical committee 48: Electromechanical components and mechanical structures for
electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1999. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
1) This International Standard no longer includes the quality assessment procedures. As
described in IEC 61076-1 and IEC 62197-1 a new document structure has been
established. IEC 61076-3 has been revised to match with this updated structure. The
title of this International Standard was also revised.
2) Subclause 2.2, Systems of levels has been introduced.
3) Subclause 2.5, IEC type designation has been removed following the decision
according to 14.2 of the Berlin SC 48B Plenary meeting minutes (48B/1732/RM).

– 4 – 61076-3 © IEC:2008
4) Clauses 3 Dimensional information and 4 Characteristics have been added.
5) Old Subclauses 4.2 to 4.4 have been moved to new Subclauses 5.3 to 5.5.
6) Table 2 – Number of test specimens and contacts has been inserted.
7) Test groups have been rearranged. Test group HP has been added.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
48B/1881/FDIS 48B/1914/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 61076 series, under the general title Connectors for electronic
equipment – Product requirements, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

Part 3: Rectangular connectors – Sectional specification

1 Scope
1.1 General considerations
This part of IEC 61076 establishes uniform specifications and technical information for
rectangular connectors. It should be used in conjunction with the generic specification
IEC 61076-1:2006 for product requirements as the basis for preparation of consistent detail
product specifications for rectangular connectors.
NOTE 1 The quality assessment requirements for connectors according to the IEC 61076 series are detailed in
IEC 62197-1.
NOTE 2 A detail quality specification, future IEC 62197-3-1XX should be prepared, based on the blank detail
quality specification for rectangular connectors, future IEC 62197-3-001, and should be used in conjunction with
the detail product specification IEC 61076-3-1XX.
1.2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

2 Technical information
The detail product specification shall contain all necessary information which contributes to a
proper application of the connectors. It will also provide specificities to enable a better
understanding of the connectors and/or the connector family.
2.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in 2.1 of IEC 61076-1:2006
and IEC 60512-1 apply.
– 6 – 61076-3 © IEC:2008
2.2 Systems of levels
2.2.1 Performance levels
If appropriate, the detail product specification shall contain information about the different
performance levels.
The term ‘performance level’ reflects the grouping of the environmental and mechanical
stresses at which a component is tested, and also such features as long-term stability of
electrical characteristics. If different levels are defined in the detail product specification, they
have to be numbered, where the lowest number (1) usually indicates the highest performance.
2.2.2 Compatibility levels, according to IEC 61076-1:2006
As a function of the standardization degree, four levels characterize the compatibility of
connectors from different sources. These levels are defined in 2.2.3.1 to 2.2.3.5 of
IEC 61076-1:2006 and shall, when appropriate, be indicated in the detail product specification
of rectangular connectors.
NOTE If connectors of different compatibility level are mated, the lower level shall prevail.
2.3 Classification into climatic categories
Unless impractical, the lower and upper temperatures and the duration for the damp heat,
steady-state test shall be described in a table similar to the example given in 2.3 of
IEC 61076-1:2006.
