IEC 60998的本部分适用于作为两个或多个电铜导体（符合IEC 60228或IEC 60344）刚性（实心或绞合）或柔性连接的单独实体的连接装置，横截面积为0.2 mm2（含35 mm2）及额定电压不超过交流1000 V（含1000 Hz）及直流1500 V（含1000 Hz）的等效AWG导线，电能用于家用及类似用途。 本标准构成IEC 60998系列的第1部分，该系列的总标题为家用和类似用途低压电路连接装置。本系列包括第1部分，专门讨论一般要求，以及第2部分，专门讨论特殊要求。 第二版取消并取代1990年出版的第一版，构成技术修订版。 本副本包含2005年3月的解释表内容。

This part of IEC 60998 applies to connecting devices as separate entities for the connection of two or more electrical copper conductors (complying with IEC 60228 or IEC 60344) rigid (solid or stranded) or flexible, having a cross-sectional area of 0,2 mm2 up to and including 35 mm2 and equivalent AWG conductors with a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. up to and including 1 000 Hz and 1 500 V d.c. where electrical energy is used for house-hold and similar purposes. This standard constitutes Part 1 of the IEC 60998 series, published under the general title Connecting devices for low-voltage circuits for household and similar purposes. This series consists of this Part 1, devoted to general requirements, and various Parts 2, devoted to particular requirements. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1990 and constitutes a technical revision. The contents of the interpretation sheet of March 2005 have been included in this copy.
