Overview
EN 60352-2:2006/A1:2013 (IEC 60352-2:2006/A1:2013) is the CENELEC amendment covering solderless crimped connections. It specifies general requirements, test methods and practical guidance for crimped contact joints used in electrical assemblies. Amendment A1 (approved 2013) updates the original 2006 edition and contains graphs, formulae and test-current recommendations for verifying contact performance.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and purpose: Defines performance requirements and test procedures for crimped, solderless connections used with copper barrels and conductors.
- Contact resistance limits: The amendment provides a graph (Figure 6) and an equation to determine maximum allowed initial contact resistance (A) and the maximum allowed change after conditioning (B). The relationship is given as:
- A = 0.4596 × C^(–0.8843) (A in milliohms, C = conductor cross‑section in mm²)
- B = A / 2 (maximum allowed change in resistance after electrical or climatic conditioning)
- Test current guidance: Figure 8 and accompanying notes specify how to select test currents for different conductor cross‑sections:
- For conductor cross‑sections from 0.05 mm² to 1 mm², test current = 15 × C (C in mm²).
- Reference/test current values are provided for conductor cross‑sections above 1 mm².
- Conditioning and verification: The standard addresses electrical and climatic conditioning and sets limits for change in contact resistance after such conditioning.
- Graphical tools: Curves for initial resistance (Curve A) and maximum change after conditioning (Curve B) are included to facilitate compliance checks.
Practical applications and who uses this standard
EN 60352-2/A1 is used by industry professionals who design, manufacture, assemble or test crimped connections, including:
- Connector and terminal manufacturers (for product specifications)
- Cable-assembly and wiring-harness manufacturers (quality control and process validation)
- Design engineers (to specify acceptable contact performance)
- Test laboratories and inspectors (for verification and compliance testing)
- Quality assurance and regulatory teams (to support certification and conformity claims)
Typical application sectors include automotive, industrial control, consumer electronics, telecommunications, aerospace and electrical equipment manufacturing where reliable solderless crimp joints are critical.
Related standards
- IEC 60352 series (other parts covering different types of solderless connections)
- National and sector-specific wiring and connector standards (referencing EN/IEC connector requirements)
