This part of IEC 60999 applies to screw-type and screwless-type clamping units for connecting devices, either as separate entities or as integral parts of equipment, for the connection of electrical copper conductors (complying with IEC 60228), rigid (solid or stranded) and1or flexible, having a cross-sectional area of 0.2 mm2 up to and including 35 mm2 and equivalent AWG sizes with a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V ac. with a lrequency up to and Including 1 000 Hz, and 1 500 V d.c.
It applies to clamping units primarily suitable for connecting unprepared conductors.
This standard does not apply to clamping units
a) for connection by crimping or soldering:
b) for data and signalling circuits;
C) for flat quick-connect terminations, insulation-piercing connecting devices and twist-on connecting devices. which are covered by IEC 61210 13111. IEC 60998-2•3 (1J and IEC 60998-2-4 (2) respectively

3 DefInitions
For the purpose of this part of IEC 60999. the following definitions apply.
3.1
clamping unit
the part(s) of the terminal necessary for the mechanical clamping and the electrical connection of the conductor(s), including the parts which are necessary to ensure the correct contact pressure
terminal
the conductive part of one pole, composed of one or more clamping unit(s) and insulation it necessary
3.3
connecting device
a device for the electrical connection of one (or more) conductor(s), comprising one (or more)
terminal(s), either fixed to a base or forming an integral part of the equipment
3.4
screw•type clamping unit
a clamping unit for the connection and subsequent disconnection of one conductor or the
Interconnection and subsequent disconnection of two or more conductors, the connection being
made, directly or indirectly, by means of screws or nuts of any kind
3.5
pillar clamping unit
a screw-type clamping unit in which the conductor is inserted into a hole or cavity, where it is clamped under the shank of a screw or screws. The clamping pressure may be applied directly by the shank of the screw or through an intermediate part to which pressure is applied by the shank of the screw
3.6
screw clamping unit
a screw-type clamping unit In which the conductor is clamped under the head of a screw The
clamping pressure may be applied directly by the head of the screw or through an intermediate
part such as a washer, clamping plate or antispread device.
