Specifies requirements for flat quick-connect terminations consisting of a male tab size 2.8, 4.8, 6.3 or 9.5 mm and mating female conenctor for use as either an incorporated or an integrated part of an equipment or of a component, or as a separate entity, for connecting electrical copper conductors according to the manufacturer's instructions.

This Standard applies to flat quick-connect terminations consisting of a male tab of size 2,8, 4,8, 6,3 or 9,5 mm (0,110, 0,187, 0,250, or 0,375 in) and a mating female connector for use as either an incorporated or an integrated part of an equipment or of a component, or as a separate entity, for connecting electrical copper conductors according to the manufacturer's instructions.Said electrical copper conductors may be flexible or rigid stranded, having a cross-sectional area up to and including 6 mm2 (AWG equal to or greater than 10) or rigid solid having a cross-sectional area up to and including 2,5 mm2 (AWG equal to or greater than 14).The rated voltage by which electrical energy is utilized, shall not exceed 1 000 V a.c. with a frequency up to and including 1 000 Hz, and 1 500 V d.c. and having the temperature limits applicable to materials used within this standard.Requirements for insulated male tabs and female connectors are under consideration.NOTES1 This standard, where applicable, may be used for conductors made of material other than copper, but not including aluminium.2 For reasons of safety, it is recommended that flat quick-connect terminations beyond the scope of this standard should not be interchangeable with those of this standard.3 This standard does not apply to female connectors with positive locking means.4 The flat quick-connect terminations covered by this standard are not intended to be disconnected by pulling the cable.This standard does not apply to flat quick-connect terminations for data and signal circuits.
