61368-1 is an IEC standard which defines the application field and working principle of Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors. All connections made with such connectors are made with the push of a button, allowing faster connection than traditional screw type terminals. This kind of connectors are especially useful in applications where frequent connection and disconnection is required.

The design of the IEC 61368-1 ensures the safe and individual performance of electrical connections. It requires the connector contacts to withstand mechanical stresses, as well as electrical and thermal agents without interaction between them. This standard also defines the dimensions of the connector’s contact terminals, their electrical characteristics, contact resistance, and marking.

Quick connects, quick disconnect connectors are composed of two parts: the receptacle and the plug. Each part contains a removable body with stationary contacts on the inside which make contact with each other when the parts are joined. The contact surfaces in the plug have a preset spring force that ensures the contacts make a secure connection. The force is not strong enough to be physically felt by the end user, but it is strong enough to prevent accidental disconnects.

The major use of quick disconnects is in the automation industry where they are commonly used to quickly connect and disconnect a range of devices. Many modern consumer products rely on this configuration, such as LCDs, home theater systems, cameras, and gaming consoles. They are often used to connect interface cables and interconnects such as HDMI, USB, Ethernet, and coaxial.

Quick connects and quick disconnects are also designed for safety and reliability, with an insulation sleeve designed to protect the user from shock. This insulation sleeve prevents any accidental contact between the user and the terminals. Many quick disconnects also have a variety of safety features, such as a spring-loaded safety lock or an audible ‘click’ sound when the connections are secured. This helps to alert the user when the connection has been made and broken.

Quick disconnects are also used to connect electrical systems and circuits, such as motors and heating systems. They are designed not to arc or spark when connected, can pass several hundred volts, and remain safe and secure over long periods in difficult environments. Quick disconnects are also available in a variety of materials, allowing them to be used for both underwater and high-temperature applications.

Overall, Quick Disconnects are reliable, safe, and easy-to-use connections systems designed for speed and convenience. They are simple to install and use, and can be found in many consumer and industrial applications around the world.
