French term or phrase: mn / sc

Y a-t-il un espace sécable ou insécable d'ailleurs devant mn/sc?

2 minutes et 30 secondes = **2mn30sc**?

Explanation:
Selon le Guide typochraphique de l'Imprimerie Nationale (la "Bible" en matière de règles de ponctuation et de typographie !), une espace insécable (le terme "espace" est féminin en typo) est TOUJOURS requise entre:
- un chiffre et l'unité de mesure, monétaire, mathématique ou physique (ou son symbole!) qu'il précède (Exception pour les degrés "°" lorsque celui-ci n'est pas suivi par la lettre "C" ou "F"
- devant un double signe de ponctuation (donc devant ;:!?)
- entre un guillemet ouvrant et le mot qui suit
- entre un guillemet fermant et le mot qui précède
- en guise de séparation des milliers dans les nombres écrits en chiffres

Au fait, les abréviations de heure, minutes et secondes sont "h", "min" et "s"
