Overview
SIST EN 60512-16-7:2008 is a European standard developed by CLC, aligned with the international IEC 60512-16-7:2008 standard. It specifies a detailed mechanical test for connectors used in electronic equipment, focusing on the measurement of contact deformation after crimping. This test method evaluates the contact's ability to resist deformation or damage resulting from crimping operations, which is crucial for maintaining reliable electrical connections.
This standard primarily targets cylindrical, machined contacts, but can be adapted for other contact geometries with appropriate specification adjustments. The document forms part of the broader IEC 60512 series that covers various tests and measurements for connectors.
Key Topics
Scope and Purpose
The standard defines a procedure to test and measure how crimping affects the physical integrity of connector contacts and terminations. Maintaining minimal deformation ensures optimal performance and prevents connection failure.Test Specimen and Preparation
Specimens consist of contact-wire assemblies with at least 100 mm of cable protruding. A minimum of 10 specimens per barrel size (five for minimum and five for maximum wire sizes) is tested unless otherwise specified.Crimping Tool Requirements
The crimping tools used should comply with the detail specification, or otherwise follow manufacturer tool instructions. Full tooling details are mandatory for test reporting and compliance claims.Measurement Method
Contacts are mounted in a precisely calibrated collet allowing rotation. Measurements of the contact’s position are taken before and after crimping using high-precision gauges, such as dial indicators, to determine deformation.Acceptance Criteria
Deformation limits are defined within the detail specifications. The standard requires a visual inspection before and after testing to confirm no defects impede normal functionality beyond permissible deformation.Specification Details
For implementation, detailed specifications must outline wire type and size, crimping tools, contact holding areas during measurement, measurement points, permitted deformation values, test specimen quantities, and any deviations from the standard method.
Applications
Quality Assurance in Connector Manufacturing
Ensures that crimping operations do not compromise contact geometry, essential for electrical reliability and safety in electronic assemblies.Connector Design Validation
Helps manufacturers validate new contact designs and crimping methods to meet durability and performance requirements under mechanical stress.Compliance Testing for Electronic Equipment
Enables conformity assessment to international and regional standards, supporting product acceptance in global markets.Preventive Maintenance and Failure Analysis
Used in service and production environments to detect early signs of mechanical degradation or improper assembly affecting contact integrity.Electromechanical Component Industry
Relevant to all sectors designing or utilizing connectors for signal, power, and data transmission where crimped contacts are common.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). 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. 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 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 IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accep
