IEC60309

North American, International and European IEC 60309 pin and sleeve devices are manufactured to EN 60309-1 and EN 60309-2 standards. EN 60309-1 specifies general functionality and safety requirements for industrial high-current power connectors. EN 60309-2 specifies power connectors conforming to specific dimensional requirements which permits component interchangeability between IEC 60309 device manufacturers. EN 60309 outlines the utilization of circular housings, various numbers of contact pins and pin arrangements pertaining to specific electric amperage and voltage ratings. The EN 60309-2 standard was developed to create product standardization guidelines for all manufactures of IEC 60309 plugs, connectors, inlets and outlet configurations. Industrial plugs and sockets are color coded, which assists in identifying pin and sleeve voltage and current ratings. Rated Voltage colors are 110-130 Volt Yellow, 200-250 Volt Blue, 380-415 Volt Red, 120/208-144/250 Volt Blue, 220/380-240-415..
