Overview

EN 61754-4-100:2016 (identical to IEC 61754-4-100:2015) defines the interface dimensions for the type SC connector family specifically covering simplified receptacle SC‑PC connector interfaces. The standard specifies dimensional, interface and intermateability requirements for a simplified receptacle assembly - made of a simplified receptacle housing and a simplified plug - used with SC family plugs that have a 2.5 mm typical ferrule and a spherical polished (PC) ferrule endface.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Interface dimensional drawings and tables: Precise mechanical and optical datum positions, with dimensions given in millimetres (see tables and figures in the standard). Example dimension ranges (from the standard) include body features and angles used to locate the optical datum.
  • Intermateability rules: Mating parts must use the same polished endface shape; the document includes a table showing intermateability between simplified receptacle housings and plugs.
  • Connector description and constraints:
    • Parent SC plug is a single‑position, push‑pull plug with a cylindrical, spring‑loaded butt ferrule (2.5 mm typical).
    • Simplified plug: no internal spring; removal requires a tool.
    • Optical alignment: resilient sleeve style (may be removable).
    • Ferrule endface: spherical polished for physical contact (PC).
  • Measurement and test references: Normative references include IEC 61300‑3‑22 (ferrule compression force) and IEC 61755‑3‑1 (optical ferrule interface details).
  • Gauging and grades: Pin gauge specifications and ferrule outside‑diameter tolerances / grades are defined to ensure repeatable mating and optical alignment.

Practical applications

  • Ensures mechanical compatibility and reliable optical alignment for SC‑PC connections in:
    • Telecommunications and datacom equipment
    • Optical patch panels, adapters and enclosures
    • Optical transceivers and customer premise equipment (CPE)
    • FTTx, datacenter cabling and passive optical networks
  • Used by:
    • Connector and adapter manufacturers for design and production
    • Product compliance and QA teams for verification and conformance testing
    • Test laboratories and certification bodies validating intermateability and dimensional compliance
    • Procurement/specification engineers specifying compatible SC connector interfaces

Related standards

  • IEC 61754‑4:2013 - Type SC connector family (parent interface and mating plug)
  • IEC 61755‑3‑1 - Optical ferrule interface (2.5 mm/1.25 mm zirconia PC ferrules)
  • IEC 61300‑3‑22 - Ferrule compression force test methods

This standard is essential when specifying or designing SC‑PC simplified receptacle interfaces and when ensuring interoperability across suppliers using the interface dimensions for the type SC connector family.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). 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. 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 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 IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regio
