ANSI C78.390-2006 (R2015) Page i 2015 National Electrical Manufacturers Association AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by The American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other cri

13、teria for approval have been met by the standards developer. An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached

14、by directly, and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The existence of an American Natio

15、nal Standard does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether s/he has approved the standard or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. It is intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer, and the genera

16、l public. The American National Standards Institute, Inc., does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name o

Sco

26、pe This standard describes a system for the designation of miniature and sealed-beam lamps. A form is provided for the use of lamp manufacturers to request a designation assignment, alternative, or change. 2. Purpose 2.1 The purpose of the designation system defined by this standard is to provide a

27、nationally applicable and convenient lamp identification that may be used for both manufacturing and ordering purposes. The designation will ensure, for the user, the interchangeability of lamps that bear the same designation. 2.2 The lamp characteristics data given by a manufacturer on a Miniature

28、and Sealed-Beam Designation Request Form (Request Form) forms the basis for the assignment of a designation. They have not been approved by the American Standards Institute (ANSI) and do not constitute an American National Standard. Similarly, any consolidated listing of assigned designations with a

29、ssociated characteristics does not constitute an American National Standard. 3. Normative References 3.1 The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this American National Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were

30、 valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this American National Standards are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below.

Definitions In addition to the general definitions given here, a glossary of items used in conjunction with a Request Form is presented in Section 9. 4.1 Alternate Design - A lamp with ele

34、ctrical characteristics the same or similar to an existing lamp, but utilizing a different major feature such as bulb shape or filament shape that does not affect interchangeability. 4.2 Designation Program - The procedures and requirements of this standard formulated to provide designations for lam

35、ps. 4.3 Discharge Forward Lighting - An automotive lighting system, providing forward illumination, comprised of the headlamps, discharge source, ballast/starting system, and interconnecting wiring. 4.4 Halogen Infrared Reflector (HIR) Lamp - A tungsten-halogen lamp with an infrared coating on the b

36、ulb surface to reflect heat back to the filament. 4.5 Lamp Manufacturer - A manufacturer who produces finished lamps. 4.6 Miniature Lamp - In general, a lamp of 30 volts or less, intended for various applications other than general lighting or photographic.1 4.7 Pressed Glass Lamp - A reflector lamp

37、, the bulb of which consists of two glass parts fused together, namely a metallized reflecting bowl and a lens cover forming an optical system. 4.8 Reflector Lamp - An incandescent or discharge lamp in which part of the bulb, of suitable shape, is coated with a reflecting material so as to control t

38、he light. 4.9 Sealed-Beam Lamp - A pressed glass lamp designed to give a closely controlled beam of light. 4.10 Sponsor - The originator of a lamp designation request form. 1 Note: It is difficult to formulate an all-inclusive definition for miniature lamps. There are numerous exceptions to the abov

39、e definition. ANSI C78.390-2006 (R2015) Page 3 2015 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 4.11 Subminiature Lamp A lamp having maximum overall length (MOL) 0.52” (13.2 mm) or below. 4.12 Telephone Type Lamp - A lamp having a T2 or smaller bulb and a telephone slide base. These lamps may be u

40、sed in telephone switchboards or indicator panels on 6-120V circuits. 4.13 Variant - A lamp that is similar to an existing lamp and can be used interchangeably with the existing lamp in certain applications. 5. Description of a Designation 5.1 Designation for Lamps (Except Telephone Type Lamps) The

41、lamp designation shall consist of a one, two, three, or four digit number. Prefix and suffix letters or suffix numbers preceded by a hyphen, may be used also. The designation shall have no significance other than defined prefix and suffix letters, but shall serve merely as an identifying symbol. Oth

42、er than the use of hyphens, as defined in this standard, there shall be no spaces, separators or other undefined symbols used in a designation.2 5.1.1 Basic Number The basic number shall be composed of one, two, three, or four digits. A different number is assigned for each specifically different se

43、t of key electrical and physical characteristics. Key electrical and physical characteristics are: - Rated voltage - Rated life - Current or wattage - Bulb diameter - Mean spherical candela - Base designation (Miniature Lamp) - Maximum overall length - Approximate Initial Peak Beam Candlepower (Seal

44、ed-Beam Lamp) 5.1.2 Prefix Letters A prefix letter(s), when used, shall precede the basic number of a designation without any intervening spaces or other separators. Prefix letters are found in Annex B. 2 Note: Although none of the lamp characteristics will be evident from the lamp designation, they

45、 may be determined by reference to a lamp manufacturers catalog or to SR25 and SR26 ANSI C78.390-2006 (R2015) Page 4 2015 National Electrical Manufacturers Association 5.1.3 Suffix Letters A suffix letter(s), when used, shall follow directly after the basic number of a designation, without any inter

46、vening spaces or other separators. Suffix letters are found in Annex C. The following list shows suffix letters that have been used in lamp designations. They are not recommended for future use. * Helium Retardant C Coated F Frosted K Candelabra screw base L Lens end; or Long life M Miniature screw

47、base MB Miniature bayonet base NP Nickel plated base 5.1.4 Suffix Numbers A suffix number, preceded by a hyphen, shall follow the basic number, if needed. It may be used to indicate a variant from the basic lamp. Suffix numbers -1 through -4 are variants of the basic lamp. It may be necessary to con

48、sult with the manufacturer for the specific meaning. If both a suffix letter and a suffix number are needed to describe a lamp; the suffix letter shall follow directly after the basic number, then this combination shall be followed by a hyphen and the suffix number. 5.2 Designation for Telephone Typ

49、e Lamps The designation for telephone type lamps shall consist of a one, two, or three digit number which may be followed directly by an arbitrary letter(s). This number represents the rated voltage of the lamp. A suffix number corresponding to the telephone slide base number also may appear in the designation. Numbers for the bases may be found in ANSI C81.61. 6. Criteria for Assignment of Designation for New Requests, Alternatives or Changes 6.1 A basic number, following the format of 5.1.1, shall be assigned only to a lamp whose charact
