BS EN 60617-2:1996 is a British Standard that specifies graphical symbols for diagrams used in electrotechnical and electronic engineering. This standard was adopted from the international standard IEC 60617-2:1996.
The standard provides a set of graphical symbols that can be used to represent electrical and electronic devices and components, as well as their functions and connections. These symbols are commonly used in diagrams such as circuit diagrams, block diagrams, and wiring diagrams.
The symbols included in the standard are organized into categories based on their function or application, such as power supplies, switches, and amplifiers. Each symbol is accompanied by a brief description of its function and usage.
Some specific categories of symbols covered by the standard include:
Passive components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors
Active components, such as transistors, diodes, and operational amplifiers
Power supplies, such as batteries and transformers
Switches and relays
Connectors and terminals
Compliance with this standard is often required in the design and documentation of electrical and electronic systems, particularly in industries such as telecommunications, aerospace, and automotive engineering. The standard helps ensure that diagrams are clear, accurate, and consistent, making it easier for engineers and technicians to understand and work with complex systems.
