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 regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 60512-28-100 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Electrical connectors, of IEC
technical committee 48: Electrical connectors and mechanical structures for electrical and
electronic equipment. It is an International Standard.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2019. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) The frequency range has been modified to start at 0,1 MHz instead of 1 MHz, to include
single-pair connectors.
IEC 60512-28-100:2024 © IEC 2024 – 7 –

b) All tables and requirements have been revised down to 0,1 MHz, and partially improved to
reduce the impact of the test fixture.
c) Formulae to calculate the S-parameters from single-ended parameters have been added.
d) A note was added for those parameters which are not applicable to single-pair connectors.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
48B/3109/FDIS 48B/3112/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60512 series, published under the general title Connectors for
electrical and electronic equipment, can be found on the IEC website.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn, or
• revised.

Connectors for electrical and electronic equipment –
Tests and measurements –
Part 28-100: Signal integrity tests up to 2 000 MHz – Tests 28a to 28g

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60512 specifies the test methods for signal integrity and transmission
performance for connectors specified in respective parts of IEC 60603-7 [1], IEC 61076-1 [2],
IEC 61076-2 [3], IEC 61076-3 [4] and IEC 63171 [5] series of standards for connecting hardware
applications from 0,1 MHz up to 2 000 MHz, with reference to this document.
NOTE This document is also suitable for testing signal integrity and transmission performance of connectors up to
a lower value of maximum frequency; however, the test methodology specified in the detail specification for any given
connector remains the reference conformance test for that connector.
The list of connector series of standards does not preclude referencing this document in other
connector manufacturer’s specifications or published standards.
Test procedures provided herein are:
– insertion loss, test 28a;
– return loss, test 28b;
– near-end crosstalk (NEXT) test 28c;
– far-end crosstalk (FEXT), test 28d;
– transverse conversion loss (TCL), test 28f;
– transverse conversion transfer loss (TCTL), test 28g.
Other test procedures referenced herein are:
