IEC/SC 48B - Electrical connectors
To prepare standards for electrical connectors and connecting devices. Standards for electrical connector test methods and for solderless connection technologies are also prepared. Note 1: RF and fibre optic connectors will not be dealt with by the sub-committee; hybrid connectors which additionally employ RF and/or fibre optic contacts, will be handled in cooperation with TC 46 and/or TC 86. Note 2: IEC 61984: Connectors - Safety requirements and tests is covered by this sub-committee. Safety requirements for areas already dealt with by other committees will not be developed by this sub-committee.
Connecteurs électriques
Préparer des normes applicables aux connecteurs électriques, aux dispositifs constituants et aux dispositifs à valeur ajoutée en définissant les interfaces qui leur sont attribuées. Ceci s'appliquant par exemple aux câbles équipés et à des connecteurs spécifiques. Le sous-comité ne s'occupe pas des connecteurs pour fréquences radioélectriques qui sont du ressort du CE 46. Les socles des composants seront étudiés en collaboration avec les comités d'études intéressés. Ces activités de normalisation porteront également sur la préparation de méthodes d'essai et de guides concernant les connexions sans soudure.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Subcommittee (SC) in ISO operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
