IEC 60906-1 is an international standard for 230 V AC domestic power plugs and sockets. It was conceived as a common mains plug and socket standard for use in territories with 230 V mains.〔http://fam-oud.nl/~plugsocket/IEC60906-1.html〕 The standard was originally published by the International Electrotechnical Commission in 1986, the current edition is ed2.0 published in 2009. Although it looks similar to the Swiss SEV 1011 plug, its dimensions are different. As of July 2014, only South Africa has introduced a standard (SANS 164-2) based closely on IEC-60906-1. Brazil used it as the basis for its NBR 14136 standard, but this is not compatible with IEC-60906-1. ''This article is only about part one of IEC 60906. Part two, IEC 60906-2, defines a global standard plug for 115 V mains. It is compatible with the systems used today in North America and Japan. Part three, IEC 60906-3, defines a family of extra low voltage connectors.'' ==Features== IEC 60906-1 plugs and socket-outlets are rated 16 A, 250 V a.c. and are intended for use on distribution systems having nominal voltages between 200 V and 250 V a.c. IEC 60906-1 defines both 3-pin connectors for Class I appliances and 2-pin versions for Class II appliances. It is smaller than current European plugs with the same current rating. The socket has either a 10 mm deep recess or a 12 mm high rim, to exclude incompatible plugs. It ensures that the protective-earth pin establishes contact before the line and neutral pins. Sockets are required to have shutters for the line and neutral apertures. It is small enough that two can be installed in the space taken by a single Schuko or BS 1363 socket. For most existing European systems (Schuko, etc.), it would be possible to design sockets that can accept both the traditional plug as well as the IEC 60906-1 Class I and II plugs, thereby enabling a smooth transition to the new system. However, the IEC 60906-1 standard explicitly discourages the use of multi-standard sockets, claiming that such sockets are likely to create safety problems when used with plugs from other countries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IEC 60906-1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
