Re: [PSES] Products requiring dielectric voltage withstand test on RJ45 and XLR sockets

[Boštjan Glavič]

Hello Chuck,

Typical issue with reading the standard. Standard IEC 62368-1 3rd Ed only 
defines routine tests on some components, where there is a reference to routine 
tests (e.g. transformer, optocoupler,... - search for reference to 5.4.9.2). 
Complete unit shall be tested in production based on requirements of IEC 62911 
standard.

Best regards,
Boštjan

I'm working with a new lab and new product using IEC 62368-1 3rd Ed.
they are asking the company to perform production line test dielectric voltage 
withstand test of 3600 Vp or DC 1 to 4 seconds on Ethernet port connector RJ45 
and Pro Audio XLR connector sockets?
"Between primary to other accessible conductive part- L/N of plus pins to 
accessible unearthed socket terminals"

Can I use the IEC 62368-1 3rd Ed. blunt probe of Figure V.3 to show that the 
pins are not accessible and need not be tested?

Anyone else must production line Hipot Ethernet port connector RJ45 or Pro 
Audio XLR connector sockets?

Thank you for the help.


Chuck
