DCL plugs and outlets have a rated current of 6 A. DCL outlets have an earthing contact.
The rated voltage is 250 V at 50 Hz.
DCLs with additional suspension means are limited to a maximum mass of 5 kg. DCL plugs and DCL outlets complying with this document are suitable for use at ambient temperatures not normally exceeding +40 °C, but their average over a period of 24 h does not exceed + 35 °C, with a lower limit of the ambient air temperature of −5 °C. DCLs are intended for use according to their IP rating as specified in
