Contents of AES-R3-2001 to be folded into X113. A. Eckhart to update annex A to include EIA version, and have new figures. Annex C to become a list of model numbers without drawings. J. Schmidt to provide tutorial. Still waiting for action.
AES-X123: XL Connectors to Improve Electromagnetic Compatibility
New drawings posted for the working group to review.
M. Natter to provide drawings of a proposed circumferential contact for the female XL-type connector. He will also investigate whether the proposed circumferential contact will work with any male XL-type connector that falls within the IEC Standard dimensions, or if tighter tolerance is required for a reliable connection. The male connector must have a suitable conductive surface in a band on the inside of the shell.
J. Woodgate had previously agreed to prepare a draft of the filtering document and this was awaited.
AES-X130: Data Connector in a XL Connector Shell
To document needs to consider the number of mating cycles that may be expected of the enclosed connector itself, and the working group should review this.
