DIN EN 60393-6:2016-12

This part of IEC 60393 applies to surface mount preset potentiometers for use in electronic equipment. This part of IEC 60393 prescribes preferred ratings and characteristics and selects from IEC 60393-1, the appropriate quality assessment procedures, tests and measuring methods, and it gives general performance requirements for this type of potentiometers. This standard gives the minimum performance requirements and test severities. Detail specifications that refer to this sectional specification shall not specify requirements that are less stringent than those specified in the basic or sectional specification or in the form for the detail specification. If they contain more stringent requirements, these shall be listed in a clause of the detail specification and identified in the test plans, for example by an asterisk. The preferred ratings, characteristics, and test severity clause establishes preferred characteristic values, preferred ratings, and preferred test severities. The quality assessment procedures clause provides definitions and describes qualifications approval, quality conformance testing, and delayed delivery. The responsible committee is DKE/GK 613 "Widerstände" ("Resistors") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
