- Scope
- This standard deals with: — essential dimensions to ensure mechanical interchangeability; — recommended dimensions; — wiring connections to contacts of plug and socket; — marking of contacts of plug and socket; of three-conductor and four-conductor high-voltage cable plug and socket connections for medical X-ray equipment. Notes 1. —Ratings of maximum potential difference and electric current are not dealt with in this standard because the behaviour of a high-voltage cable plug and socket connection depends on the materials of the cable termination plug assembly and the receptacle socket assembly, and upon environmental factors. 2. —This standard does not include details or particulars of means for preventing removal of the ring nut (see Sub-clause 2.2) or of the cable termination plug assembly without the use of a tool. 3. —In cases where high-voltage connections of a type not complying with this standard are used, the X-ray equipment shall comply with the appropriate IEC standards.
