If you test that connector with the blunt test probe (aka finger probe) using the procedure described in the standard and it does not touch the connector pins (and you have minimum clearance) then your certifier should reconsider the dielectric test level. Many standards still use basic and reinforced insulation concepts along with working voltage to determine dielectric type test and routine test levels.
From: Chuck August-McDowell <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2024 4:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Products requiring dielectric voltage withstand test on RJ45 and XLR sockets I'm working with a new lab and new product using IEC 62368-1 3rd Ed. they are asking the company to perform production line test dielectric voltage withstand test of 3600 Vp or DC 1 to 4 seconds on Ethernet port connector RJ45 and Pro Audio XLR connector sockets? "Between primary to other accessible conductive part- L/N of plus pins to accessible unearthed socket terminals" Can I use the IEC 62368-1 3rd Ed. blunt probe of Figure V.3 to show that the pins are not accessible and need not be tested? Anyone else must production line Hipot Ethernet port connector RJ45 or Pro Audio XLR connector sockets? Thank you for the help. Chuck NOTICE: This email may contain confidential information.
