DIN VDE V 0687-297-99:2025-10 - Draft

This document describes the design requirements for RAST 5 connectors, pin strips, guide frames, components, and printed circuit boards for which there is either no detail specification (DS) or for which the detail specification refers to this standard with regard to safety requirements. This document does not apply to connectors in or on equipment for which there are application-specific safety requirements for connectors. The requirements from the equipment standards, for example DIN EN 60335-1 (VDE 0700-1) and the DIN EN 60335-2 (VDE 0700) series, take precedence over the detail specifications and this VDE pre-standard. Details with regard to restrictions can be found in the scope of this document. Application of this document increases investment security for manufacturers and users, provides testing laboratories and manufacturers with defined specifications for testing, and ensures compatibility across manufacturers. The described connector is widely used in the field of household appliances.
