OVERVIEW:
What is BS EN 62211- Reliability management of inductive components about?
BS EN 62211 is a European standard is applicable to inductive components (chokes and transformers) based on magnetically soft materials. These are components based especially on laminated iron sheets, iron powder materials (including alloys), as well as ferrites and amorphous or crystalline metal band cores.
Winding assemblies mean wire winding assemblies as well as multilayer and stacking technologies of planar technology including coils based on non-magnetic materials. Discrete type components and the different types of surface mount inductive components (SMD) are also considered in BS EN 62211.
BS EN 62211 sets up a broad basis of electric and mechanical criteria of failure test procedures.
Who is BS EN 62211 - Reliability management of inductive components for?
BS EN 62211 on reliability management is relevant to:
- Surface mounted device manufacturers
- Transformer, inductor and magnetic core manufacturers
- Manufacturers of components for electrical equipment
- Electrical engineers
- Telecommunication industry
- Electronics industry
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 62211 - Reliability management of inductive components?
The reliability of assemblies of inductive components based on several technologies such as glued types, types with clamps (clips), impregnated (varnished) types as well as (vacuum) potted types can be checked with BS EN 62211.
The subsequent determinations can be applied either for the primary qualification of inductive components or for all manners of requalification examinations (design, process, change of production facility). They can also be applied for the monitoring of products out of actual manufacturing processes.
If manufacturers advertise compliance with BS EN 62211 in their data sheets, customers can request data to demonstrate compliance with this standard. The customers can also request the product to be in compliance with this standard by a recognized body.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 62211:2017 supersedes BS EN 62211:2004 and replaces the first edition published in 2003, with the following technical revisions:
- Continuous shock and mechanical shock are integrated into the test conditions
- The normative references in Table 3 are changed
