This part of IEC 62317 specifies the dimensions that are of importance for mechanical interchangeability for a preferred range of RM-cores and low-profile RM-cores made of ferrite, and the locations of their terminal pins on a 2,54 mm printed wiring grid in relation to the base outlines of the cores. It also specifies the test conditions and clamping forces to be used for inductance measurement.

The general considerations that the design of this range of cores is based upon are given in Annex A.
