For Preliminary Review Only: ANSI Recognition of the Proposed Third Edition of the Standard for Pin and Sleeve Confi gurations, UL 1686 COMMENTS DUE: May 24, 2006 For your convenience in review, proposed additions to existing requirements are shown underlined and proposed deletions are shown lined-out. 1. For Preliminary Review Only: ANSI Recognition of the Proposed Third Edition of the Standard for Pin and Sleeve Confi gurations, UL 1686 RATIONALE The Standard for Pin and Sleeve Confi gurations, UL 1686, was last ANSI approved on February 5,1998. As the standard has been revised since the last approval, UL proposes the ANSI recognition of the Proposed Third Edition of the Standard. PROPOSAL Copyright Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

The dimensions shown defi ne the features which enable proper mating and mating of devices only with the same service, voltage, and amperage. The plug (or inlet) shroud shall have an external key which mates with a keyway in the receptacle (or connector) cavity. The key/keyway is shown at the bottom of each confi guration. The ground contact is located from this point in 30° increments to provide discrete and predetermined contact patterns. The position of the female ground contact, when viewed with the keyway at the 6 oclock position, is referred to as the clock position. There is a designated clock position for each voltage and service. These drawings do not show locking, sealing cord grip, or envelope clearance dimensions. a) The main view is shown with the grounding tube or pin at the 6 oclock position for reference only. See the rating confi guration for the required positions. b) Holes or recesses in the frontal face, if any, other than those for contact tubes, shall not have a depth of more than 0.394 inch (10 mm). See below. c) The dimension described in (b) shall not exceed the specifi ed limit at any point over the entire depth, and shall be within the specifi ed limits over a minimum depth of 0.236 inch (6 mm) with the exception of a maximum of: 1) three cut-outs for receptacles or outlets provided with 2 poles plus ground, 2) four cut-outs for receptacles or outlets provided with three poles plus ground, or 3) fi ve cut-outs for devices provided with three poles plus neutral plus ground, spaced around the circumference. There shall not be more than one cut-out between adjacent holes for the contact tubes and each shall not have a width exceeding 0.590 inch (15 mm) including any radii. Holes deeper than 0.394 inch (1 mm) in the area are allowed, d) Pin detail dimensions refer to pin diameters. The contact tubes provide contact pressure and need not be cylindrical. e) The bevelling of the contact tubes may be rounded off toward the internal cylindrical surface within a distance of 1-1/2 times the maximum dimension. f) Collars shall be provided for plugs or inlet devices having rated operating voltages exceeding 500 V. g) The ends of pins may be rounded off toward the external cylindrical surface within a distance of 1-1/2 times the maximum dimension. h) denotes the equipment ground contact. The terminal shall be identifi ed by the word green, the color green, or both. The terminal may additionally be marked with the earth symbol ().
