Page 686 - Entrelec Terminal Blocks Master Catalog

Standards and compliance

Rail vehicles are subjected to extreme environmental conditions (high vibration
and shock), corrosion (underground applications or tunnels).
All ENTRELEC terminal blocks listed in this catalog are tested in accordance with the latest

and most demanding standards applying to rolling stock applications.

1

IEC 61373 railway applications – Rolling stock equipment – Shock and vibration tests
TE Connectivity terminal blocks are complying with category 1 (body mounted) class B.

EN 45545-2 railway applications. Fire protection on railway vehicles. Requirements for fire
behavior of materials and components
TE Connectivity terminal blocks plastic materials are rated HL3 R22 (the highest Hazard
level). They can be used on vehicles for subway, tube, sleeping and couchette.

NF F 16-101 Directive relative to selecting materials in relation to their fire resistance in
terms of its behavior in a fire, the opacity of smoke and the toxicity of the gas released.

NF F 16-102 Complement to NF F 16-101. The purpose of this standard is to specify the
application of NF F 16-101 to electrical equipment and especially to individual apparatus.
