Specifications for connector performance and design are available from a wide range of organizations, including the IEEE, ISO, NEMA and numerous others. Mil-Spec standards are also critically important to design engineers specifying interfaces into electrical and electronics equipment. This topic center delivers information on standards-creation activity as well as resources for complying with the many standards governing connector specification.
