There is such a huge range of physical sizes of connectors that specifying 'how much longer' would be very difficult. I think that provided the connector reliably meets ' PE connection shall make earlier and break later than the supply connections', it is OK. With best wishes DESIGN IT IN!

From: Boštjan Glavič [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, December 2, 2016 11:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] pre-mating of PE in hot-plug connector Dear Experts, One customer is designing own connector for hot-plug application (power supply). Question is how much longer shall be PE pin than supply pins. Which standard shall be used for such connector? For reference you can see similar connector on below link. http://www.harting.com/en/service/catalogues/downloads-and-order-connectivit y-networks/din-41612-connectors/ I have checked UL 1977 and there is no such requirement. Somewhere I found a note that applicable standard is IEC 60603-2 however I am not sure if requirement for dimension of PE pin is included. I am surprised that no such requirement exist in IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1. They just mention in clause 2.6.5.4 that PE connection shall make earlier and brake later than the supply connections. Any idea? Thank you for your support.
