WORKMANSHIP REQUIREMENTS
FOR SOLDERED ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLIES –
Part 4: Terminal assemblies
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61192-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 91:
Electronics assembly technology.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
91/335/FDIS 91/352/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This standard should be used in conjunction with the following parts of IEC 61192, under the
general title, Workmanship requirements for soldered electronic assemblies:
Part 1: General
Part 2: Surface-mount assemblies
Part 3: Through-hole mount assemblies

61192-4 © IEC:2002 – 9 –
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
2008. At this date, the publication will be
 reconfirmed;
 withdrawn;
 replaced by a revised edition, or
 amended.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 61192, combined with IEC 61192-1, is used to meet the end-product
requirements defined in IEC 61191-1 and IEC 61191-4.
This standard may be used to enable the suppliers and users of terminal electronic assemblies
to specify good manufacturing practices as part of a contract.
The respective requirements and guidelines for surface-mount assemblies, and through-hole
attachment, are included in separate but related standards.

WORKMANSHIP REQUIREMENTS
FOR SOLDERED ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLIES –
Part 4: Terminal assemblies
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61192 specifies general requirements for workmanship in terminal soldered
assemblies on organic substrates, on printed boards, and on similar laminates attached to the
surface(s) of inorganic substrates.
It applies to assemblies that are totally terminals or mixed assemblies that include surface-
mounting or other related assembly technologies, for example through-hole, wires.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of IEC 61192, the definitions of IEC 60194 apply.
4 General requirements
The requirements of IEC 61192-1 are mandatory for this standard.
4.1 Classification
The classification of assemblies is divided into three levels, levels A, B, and C. Definitions of
the classification categories and the status of product for each level are given in IEC 61192-1.
In general, status is divided into three workmanship conditions as follows:
a) Target
b) Acceptable
c) Nonconforming
4.2 Conflict
Accept and/or reject decisions shall be based on applicable documentation such as contracts,
drawings, specifications and reference documents.
In the event of conflict, the following order of precedence shall apply:
a) procurement documents as agreed between user and supplier;
b) master assembly drawing;
c) IEC 61191-1 and IEC 61192-1;
d) this standard;
e) other documents to the extent that they are specified in this standard.
4.3 Inspection technique
For visual inspection, individual specifications may call for magnification aids for examining
printed-board assemblies.
Binocular vision should be used, and may be accomplished with a single large field magnifier.
Magnification of at least 3× shall be used for conventional inserted printed board assemblies.
Higher magnifications than 10× will not be found practicable for routine high-speed scanning
inspection but will be needed sometimes for detailed diagnosis or referee purposes.
4.4 Interpretation of requirements
Unless otherwise specified by the user, the word "shall", signifies that the requirement is
mandatory. Deviation from any "shall" requirement requires written acceptance by the user,
for example via assembly drawing, specification or contract provision.
The words "should" and "may" reflect recommendations and guidance, respectively, and are
used whenever it is intended to express non-mandatory provisions.

5 Process characterization
5.1 Wire preparation processes
Sufficient insulation shall be stripped from the wire or leads to provide for insulation clearances
as specified. Chemical stripping agents shall be used for solid wire only and shall be
neutralized or removed prior to soldering. After insulation removal, deformation of remaining
insulation shall not exceed 20 % of the insulation thickness. In stripping insulation, care should
be taken to avoid nicking or otherwise damaging the wire or the remaining insulation.
For level A or B assemblies, the number of damaged or severed strands in a single wire shall
not exceed the limits given in Table 1. For wires used at a potential of 6 kV, or greater, or for
level C assemblies, there shall be no broken strands; nicked strands shall be according to
Table 1. Insulation discoloration resulting from thermal stripping is permissible.
Table 1 – Nicked or broken strand limits
Maximum allowable nicked or broken strands
Number of strand
Level A and B Level C
Less than 7 0 0
7-15 1 0
16-18 2 0
19-25 3 0
26-36 4 0
37-40 5 0
41 or more 6 0
Portions of stranded wire which will be soldered shall be tinned prior to mounting. The solder
shall penetrate to the inner strands of the wire and shall wet the tinned portion of the wire.
Wicking of solder under the insulation shall be minimized.
5.2 Terminal mounting processes
Terminals not connected to printed wiring or ground planes shall be of the rolled flange
configuration (see Figure 1). A printed foil land may be used as a seating surface for a rolled
flange provided that the land is isolated and not connected to active printed wiring or ground
plane.
The shank of the terminal shall be neither perforated nor split, cracked, or otherwise
discontinuous to the extent that oils, flux, inks, or other substances utilized for processing the
printed board can be entrapped. Circumferential cracks or splits in the shank are not
acceptable regardless of extent.
The rolled flange shall not be sp
