6.1 - Climatic category
The climatic category is defined in terms of the temperature
extremes (hot and cold) and number of days exposure to
dampness, heat, and steady-state conditions that the
component is designed to withstand.
The category is indicated by a series of three sets of digits,
separated by oblique strokes, as follows:
First set: Two digits denoting the minimum ambient
temperature of operation (cold test).
Second set: Three digits denoting the upper category
temperature.
Third set: Two digits denoting the number of days used
for the dampness, heat, and steady-state test.
Example: 55/100/56
Cold: - 55 C
Upper category temperature: + 100 C
