Overview
EN 1654:1997 - published by CEN - defines requirements for copper and copper alloys supplied as thin strip intended specifically for the fabrication of springs and connectors. The standard covers composition, property requirements and tolerances on dimensions and form for copper-alloy strip with thicknesses from 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm and widths up to 350 mm. It also specifies sampling procedures, methods of test for conformity verification and delivery conditions. EN 1654 has been adopted nationally (e.g., SIST EN 1654:2000).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Material composition: Defines permitted copper alloy types and compositional requirements for strip used in springs and connectors.
- Mechanical and physical properties: Sets property requirements relevant to spring performance and connector reliability (e.g., formability, elasticity, conductivity where applicable).
- Dimensional tolerances and form: Specifies tolerances for thickness, width and flatness/edge condition appropriate for strips 0.1–1.0 mm thick and up to 350 mm wide.
- Sampling procedures: Outlines how to select samples from production lots for testing to verify conformity with the standard.
- Methods of test: Describes test methods to measure composition, mechanical properties and dimensional conformity (laboratory/inspection tests).
- Delivery conditions: Specifies documentation, packaging and delivery requirements to ensure consistent supply quality.
Note: EN 1654 focuses on requirements and verification; it does not replace design standards for springs or connectors.
Applications
- Manufacture of spring strips, spring contacts and electrical connectors.
- Production of thin copper-alloy strip for electronics, telecommunications, automotive connectors, and precision stamped components.
- Use where consistent mechanical performance and dimensional accuracy of thin copper strip are critical to spring force, contact reliability and assembly compatibility.
Who uses this standard
- Manufacturers of copper-alloy strip and coil suppliers.
- Connector and spring manufacturers specifying incoming material requirements.
- Quality engineers and procurement teams defining acceptance criteria.
- Metallurgists and test laboratories performing composition and mechanical tests.
- Standards bodies and conformity assessors managing national adoptions (e.g., SIST).
Related standards
- National adoptions of EN 1654 (for example SIST EN 1654:2000).
- Other CEN/ISO standards covering copper alloys, metal testing methods and spring or connector performance specifications.
