Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
Along with the increase of electrical components mounted on a road vehicle, the types and numbers
of connectors mounted on the automobile increase and the connector mating work becomes harder in
such circumstances. Especially from the viewpoint of ergonomics, this problem is addressed seriously.
To comprehend the characteristics of connector mate/unmate operation, their test procedures are
specified in this document.

Part 5:
Test methods and general performance requirements for
wiring harness connector operation
1 Scope
This document defines terms and specifies test methods and general performance requirements
for single-pole and multi-pole connections used with on-board electrical wiring harnesses of road
vehicles. This document is applicable to connectors designed to be disconnected after mounting in the
vehicle for repair and maintenance only. It does not cover one-part connections, i.e. where one part
of the connection has direct contact to the pattern of the printed circuit board. This document is not
applicable to internal connections of electronic devices.
