I'm looking for a comparison of the classes of DIN 41612 connectors. All I've located so far is Class one withstands 500 matings/unmatings while class 2 withstands 400 and class 3 withstands 50. Any other differences? I've seen these type of connectors available in different plating options, but I don't believe the plating is necessarily restricted to class. I'm hoping to find a legitimate spec for the DIN 41612 CRITERIA and not necessarily a manufacturer's spec for a series suitable for a particular DIN CLASS. Any help is greatly appreciated.
