IEC 61995-1 Ed. 2.0 b:2025

Full Description

IEC 61995-1:2025 Applies to devices for the connection of luminaires (DCL) intended for household and similar purposes, for the electrical connection of fixed luminaires of class I or class II to final circuits rated at not more than 16 A without mechanical support for the luminaires incorporated in the plug/outlet interface. The DCL retention mechanisms are not intended to support the weight of the luminaires. • DCL plugs and outlets have a rated current of 6 A. • DCL outlets have an earthing contact. The rated voltage is 125 V or 250 V at 50/60 Hz. • DCLs with additional suspension means are limited to a maximum mass of 5 kg. • DCL plugs and DCL outlets complying with this document are suitable for use at ambient temperatures not normally exceeding +40 °C, but their average over a period of 24 h does not exceed + 35 °C, with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of −5 °C. • DCLs are intended for use according to their IP rating as specified in IEC 60529. This document gives additional requirements for DCL accessories provided with insulation-piercing terminals, see Annex B (normative).
