Page 10 - Railways Applications Terminal blocks

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.
TE Connectivity terminal blocks plastic materials are rated I2F2. Level 3. This level concern
products mounted inside a room for passengers or running crew.

UL94 (North America) standard for safety of Flammability of Plastic Materials for parts in
devices and Appliances testing
TE Connectivity terminal blocks plastic materials are rated UL94 V0.

NFPA 130 (North America) standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger rail systems
TE Connectivity terminal blocks plastic materials complies with NFPA130 per ASTM E 162
and ASTM E 662 standards tests. It also complies with FRA238.103 and BSS 7239
standards.

UNI CEI 11170-3 (Italy) Fire Test to Railway Components
TE Connectivity terminal blocks have their plastic materials in accordance with the FS Italian
standard UNI EN 11170-3 according to the test conditions of ISO 11925-2 (flame 30s) and NF 1SNK160090S0201 - Rev. A
F 16-101
