Overview
EN 61076-4-100:2001 (CLC, also IEC 61076-4-100:2001; IECQ QC 480301XX0001) is the European detail specification for two‑part printed board connector modules with a 2.5 mm grid for printed boards and backplanes. It applies to connectors with assessed quality intended for d.c., low‑frequency analogue and digital high‑speed data applications. The standard defines dimensional, electrical, mechanical and quality assessment requirements to ensure interchangeability and reliable performance in electronic equipment.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and designation
- Detail specification for two‑part connector modules (2.5 mm pitch) for PCBs and backplanes.
- Incorporates assessed‑quality procedures under IECQ (QC 480301XX0001).
- Dimensional and mechanical data
- Reference system, height/width/depth dimensions, mating/engagement geometry and planarity requirements for fixed and free board connectors.
- Contact arrangements and termination styles for modular implementations.
- Electrical and climatic characteristics
- Requirements for insulation resistance, contact resistance, voltage proof, creepage/clearance and current‑carrying considerations.
- Climatic category and environmental requirements for intended applications.
- Testing and qualification
- Comprehensive test schedule covering dynamic/climatic, mechanical endurance, moisture, electrical load, vibration, chemical fluids and connection integrity.
- Test arrangements, gauges and test boards specified for consistent verification.
- Quality assessment procedures
- Capability/qualification approval methods, lot‑by‑lot conformance inspection, periodic tests and re‑inspection rules.
- Normative references
- Cross‑references to IEC/EN standards such as IEC 61076‑1, IEC 60512 (tests and measurements), IEC 60068 (environmental testing), IEC 60352 (solderless connections).
Applications and users
- Who uses it
- Connector manufacturers designing 2.5 mm grid two‑part modules.
- PCB and backplane designers requiring compatible mechanical and electrical interfaces.
- OEMs and system integrators specifying assessed‑quality connectors for telecommunications, industrial electronics, instrumentation and consumer equipment.
- Test laboratories and procurement/quality teams conducting qualification and acceptance testing.
- Practical value
- Ensures mechanical compatibility and electrical reliability across suppliers.
- Supports high‑quality production control via IECQ assessed quality procedures.
- Reduces design risk for modular backplane and PCB interconnect systems used in mixed analog/digital environments.

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61076-4-100 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B:
Connectors, of IEC technical committee 48: Electromechanical components and mechanical
structures for electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, issued in 1994, and constitutes a
technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
48B/1086/FDIS 48B/1117/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
Future standards in this series will carry the new general title as cited above. Titles of existing
standards in this series will be updated when a new edition is prepared.

1.1 Recommended method of mounting
The free board connectors are provided either with solder or with press-in contacts. The
mounting of the free board connector is achieved by press-in pivots. The terminations of
the free board connectors shall fit into holes in the printed board according to IEC 60326-3,
located on a grid of 2,5 mm.
The fixed board connectors are provided either with:
– press-in contacts;
– press-in and wrap contacts;
– press-in and wrap and mating area contacts.
The connector is fixed on the press-in contacts. Fixing holes on the backplane are not
necessary. The distance of termination centre lines is 2,5 mm or a multiple of it. The
terminations of the fixed board connectors are suited for backplanes having a grid dimension
of 2,5 mm.
NOTE Information about manufacturers who have components qualified to this detail specification is given in the
Qualified Products List.

3 Dimensional information
3.1 General
All dimensions are in millimetres.
Drawings are shown in the first angle projection. The shape of the connectors may deviate
from those given in the following figures as long as the specified dimensions are not
influenced.
The information about the bending in 3.3.3 and 5.1.7 is valid for the condition of delivery. The
permissible bending of the mounted connector is stated in 5.1.7.
Missing dimensions can be chosen accor
