Overview

EN 60512-11-7:2003 (IEC 60512-11-7) specifies Test 11g - the flowing mixed gas corrosion test - for connectors for electronic equipment. The standard defines a reproducible method to assess the effect of a controlled, low-concentration gaseous atmosphere on electrical contacts and connections. It is part of the IEC/EN 60512 series covering tests and measurements for connector performance under climatic conditions.

Key topics and requirements

  • Purpose: Evaluate corrosion susceptibility of contacts and connections when exposed to a polluted atmosphere at very low gas concentrations.
  • Test method: Test severity is chosen from four defined methods (Method 1–4), each prescribing gas mixture characteristics, temperature, relative humidity, flow rates and target copper-coupon corrosion rates.
  • Test duration: Preferred durations are 4, 7, 10, 14 or 21 days, with the detail specification selecting the exact duration and method.
  • Specimen preparation: Specimens are mounted and wired per the detail specification; conditioning and any pre-test operations must be specified.
  • During test: Specimens are not electrically loaded while exposed to the flowing mixed gases.
  • Post-test measurements: Final evaluation includes:
    • Contact resistance tests per IEC 60512-2-1 or IEC 60512-2-2,
    • Mechanical operating tests per IEC 60512-13-1 (as applicable),
    • Visual examination per IEC 60512-1-1.
  • Details to be specified: The detail specification must state mounting/wiring method, mated/unmated condition, pre-conditioning, chosen method, duration, initial and final measurements, and any deviations from the standard method.

Applications

  • Connector and contact qualification and reliability assessment for products exposed to polluted atmospheres.
  • Material and plating selection guidance by comparing corrosion performance.
  • Acceptance criteria and quality control for manufacturers, test laboratories and procurement/specification teams.
  • Useful for sectors where connector integrity in contaminated environments is critical: telecommunications, industrial electronics, instrumentation and other electronic equipment applications.

Who uses this standard

  • Connector and contact design engineers
  • Product qualification and reliability engineers
  • Independent environmental test laboratories
  • Procurement and specification authors setting compliance requirements
  • Quality assurance teams verifying manufacturing and material performance

Related standards

  • IEC 60068-2-60 (Test Ke: Flowing mixed gas corrosion test) - gives detailed apparatus and guidance referenced by Test 11g.
  • Other parts of IEC/EN 60512 series for visual, contact resistance and mechanical tests (e.g., IEC 60512-1-1, IEC 60512-2-1/2-2, IEC 60512-13-1).

Keywords: EN 60512-11-7:2003, IEC 60512-11-7, flowing mixed gas corrosion test, connectors for electronic equipment, climatic tests, contact resistance, environmental testing.
