Describes uniform requirements for safety and the assessment of electrical, mechanical, thermal and climatic properties of fuse-holders and the compatibility between fuse-holders and fuse-links.

This part of IEC60127 is applicable to fuse-holders for miniature cartridge fuse-links according to IEC60127‑2 and sub-miniature fuse-links according to IEC60127‑3 for the protection of electric appliances, electronic equipment and component parts thereof, normally intended for use indoors. Examples of fuse-holder types with different features are given in Table1. Table1 Features of unexposed or exposed fuse-holders 1 Types of mounting 1.1 Panel and base mounting 1.2 Printed circuit board mounting 2 Methods of fastening 2.1 Methods of fastening on panel: 2.1.1 Fixing nut fastening (threaded nut) 2.1.2 Snap-in fastening: 2.1.2.1 Fuse-base with an integral spring system 2.1.2.2 Fuse-base with a separate spring-nut (a nut fabricated, e.g. from thin spring steel having an impression designed to accommodate the mating part) 2.2 Methods of fastening on printed circuit (PC) board: 2.2.1 Solder fastening 2.2.2 Plug-in fastening 3 Methods of insertion of the fuse-carrier into the fuse base 3.1 Screw insertion 3.2 Bayonet insertion 3.3 Plug-in insertion 4 Types of terminals 4.1 Screw terminals 4.2 Solder terminals 4.3 Quick connect terminals 4.4 Other solderless terminals: - crimp terminals - wire wrap terminals 5 Protection against electric shock 5.1 Fuse-holder without integral protection against electric shock 5.2 Fuse-holder with integral protection against electric shock 5.3 Fuse-holder with enhanced integral protection against electric shock NOTE This list is not intended to be comprehensive and fuse-holders which are not listed are not necessarily excluded from the scope. This part of IEC60127 applies to fuse-holders with: a maximum rated current of 16A; and a maximum rated voltage of 1500V d.c. or 1000V a.c.; and for use up to 2000m above sea-level, unless otherwise specified. The object of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for safety and the assessment of electrical, mechanical, thermal and climatic properties of fuse-holders and the compatibility between fuse-holders and fuse-links.
