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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This redline version of the official IEC Standard allows the user to identify the changes
made to the previous edition. A vertical bar appears in the margin wherever a change
has been made. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough red text.

International Standard IEC 60512-23-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Electrical
connectors, of IEC technical committee 48: Electrical connectors and mechanical structures
for electrical and electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2000. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) an introduction has been added to provide some guidance to this document in view of
concurrent test method 23g in the same family;
b) the frequency range for which this test method is considered reliable moved from 1 GHz
to 3 GHz, to be consistent with Figure 7 (unchanged) and current industry practice and
need;
c) update to IEC 62153-4-6:2017 of former normative reference IEC 60096-4-1:1990,
withdrawn and incorrect (should have been IEC 61196-1:1995, also withdrawn);
d) update to current subclause numbers of IEC 62153-4-6:2017 what were the previous
subclause numbers referenced in IEC 61196-1:1995 (wrongly attributed to IEC 60096-4-
1:1990). For immediate understanding the title of these subclauses has been added;
e) alignment of title to the current scope of SC 48B (connectors) and inclusion of electrical
equipment as target application of said connectors (per current scope of TC 48) and
explicit reference to the method – line injection – for the measurement of transfer
impedance;
f) symbols SE for shielding effectiveness and Z for surface transfer impedance added
T
throughout the document;
g) list of connectors to which the test method is applicable – previously in 3.1 – moved in
scope;
h) former name of AECMA organization changed to the current ASD-STAN;
i) “specimen” used instead of “sample” throughout the document;
j) clarification in the title of what transfer impedance is described in Table 3 and editorial
improvement of the same;
k) “dielectric constant” changed into the updated term “relative permittivity”;
l) added a note to warn about the fact that this test method requires in 6.6 a TDR with more
stringent rise time of less than 100 ps than the value of less than 350 ps specified both in
IEC 62153-4-6 and in EN 50289-1-6 for the similar line injection method applied to
screened cables, whereas test 23g of IEC 60512-23-7 specifies for the same purpose a
TDR with a rise time of less than 200 ps;
m) adoption of term “connector housing” [IEV 581-27-10] instead of “shell” to address the
connector accessory providing the shielding;
