18、ss than 30 V rms (42 V peak); b) Type 1A rated less than 8.3 A and from 30 V up to and including 600 V ac or dc, or both; c) Type 1B rated from 8.3 A up to and including 200 A, and less than 30 V rms (42 V peak); d) Type 2 rated from 8.3 A to less than 31 A and from 30 V up to and including 600 V ac

19、 or dc or both; e) Type 3 rated from 31 A up to and including 200 A and from 30 V up to and including 600 V ac or dc, or both. f) Type 4 rated from greater than 200 A up to and including 1000 A, and up to and including 6 0 0Va co rd c . g) Type 5 rated less than 31 A and from 601 V up to and includi

20、ng 6000 V ac or dc, or both. Type designations used in this Standard only serve as a guide to determine appropriate requirements, and do not represent an assigned rating.

27、 DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL g) Devices such as quick-connect terminals that are covered by the Standard for Electrical Quick-Connect Terminals, UL 310. 1.4 The requirements in this standard may not entirely address all possible situations due to the wide variety of products and designs.

28、 In those situations, the Standard for Attachment Plugs and Receptacles, UL 498 may be used to supplement the requirements in this standard. Where a conict exists between the requirements of UL 498 and UL 1977, the requirements of UL 1977 shall take precedence. 2 Glossary 2.1 For the purpose of this

29、 Standard, the following denitions apply. 2.2 CONTACT A conductive element intended to mate with a corresponding element to provide an electrical path. 2.3 ENCLOSURE The case or housing into which the insulator and contacts are assembled. 2.4 HYBRID DEVICE A device employing dedicated contacts of tw

30、o or more type designations. 2.5 INSULATOR The portion of a device that provides for separation and support of contacts. May be combined with the enclosure. 2.6 TERMINAL A conductive part provided on a contact for connecting a conductor. 3 Components 3.1 Except as indicated in 3.2, a component of a

31、product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components used in the products covered by this standard. 3.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or charact

32、eristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 3.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 3.4 Specic components are incomplete in

33、 construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions.

Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 5 References 5.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in

35、 the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. CONSTRUCTION 6 General 6.1 Devices complying with these requirements are acceptable for use as components in an end product where the acceptability of the combination is to be determi

36、ned. 6.2 The acceptability of a connector in any particular application depends on its ability to be used under the conditions that prevail in actual service. For a particular application, a connector may be affected by the requirements for the equipment in which it is used, and it may be necessary

37、to additionally evaluate features or performance characteristics that are not specied in this standard. 7 Insulating Materials 7.1 A base or body in or on which live parts are mounted shall be of porcelain or another insulating material acceptable for the particular application. 7.2 A polymeric mate

38、rial, including rubber compounds, used as an electrical insulator, an internal barrier necessary to maintain spacings, or an enclosure of live parts shall comply with the requirements shown in Table 7.1. Exception No. 1: A polymeric material need not have a ame rating for the thinnest measured thick

39、ness when the molded connector/material combination complies with the 12 mm or 20 mm (3/4 in) end-product ame tests described in the Standard for Polymeric Materials Use in Electrical Equipment Evaluations, UL 746C. Exception No. 2: In lieu of a minimum HB ammability rating, small components with an

40、 overall volume of less than 2500 mm 3 (0.15 in 3 ) may be evaluated and classed with a ammability rating of SC-0, SC-1, or SC-2 in accordance with the Standard for Tests for Flammability of Small Polymeric Component Materials, UL 1694. Exception No. 3: For materials with other than VTM ammability c

41、lassications, the ame rating of the material shall be evaluated using the thinnest measured thickness employed in the connector or nominal 1/64 inch (0.4 mm) thickness, whichever is greater.

42、OUT PERMISSION FROM UL 7.3 In this requirement, the term established , when used in reference to material property values, is dened as those values that have been determined in accordance with the Standard for Polymeric Materials Long Term Property Evaluations UL 746B. The polymeric material shall b

43、e evaluated using the specimen thickness separating live parts or live parts and grounded metal parts. When the evaluation thickness of the specimen is between two closest thickness values that have been established, the Electrical RTI corresponding to the lower of these two thickness values shall b

44、e used. When the evaluation thickness of the specimen is less than the smallest thickness for which a value has been established, the Electrical RTI at the minimum thickness with an established value shall be used. If the material has no established RTI values at any thickness, the generic value for

45、 the family of resin to which the material belongs as dened in Section 7 and Table 7.1 of UL 746B shall be used. When the Mold stress relief, Dielectric voltage-withstand, and the Temperature tests are successfully performed, as required by the desired Type designation and electrical rating(s), the

46、maximum operating temperature of the device may be assigned up to the Electrical RTI value of the polymeric material as determined in this requirement (7.3 of UL 1977).

Other materials may be accepted if they are found to provide adequate electrical and mechanical characteristics as

48、 a result of special investigation. 8.2 Crimp style terminals are considered representative of solder terminals provided the remaining portion of the contacts are identical. 8.3 Iron or steel, whether plain or plated, shall not be used for parts that are depended upon to carry current. Exception: Pa

49、rts that are depended upon to carry current in high temperature applications may be of suitably plated or stainless steel. 8.4 A current-carrying part shall be secured in place so that turning relative to the surface on which it is mounted would not adversely affect the performance of the device.
