Overview
SIST EN 60512-16-8:2008 is a European standard developed by CLC, aligned with IEC 60512-16-8:2008, focusing on connectors for electronic equipment. It provides a standardized test method to evaluate the insulating grip effectiveness specifically for crimped cable connections. The test ensures that the insulation grip in connectors securely holds the insulation of cables or wires during mechanical stress under specified conditions. This standard is part of the wider IEC 60512 series which covers tests and measurements on connectors and their mechanical and electrical properties.
Key Topics
Scope and Purpose
The standard applies primarily to connectors under the jurisdiction of IEC Technical Committee 48 but can be used for similar devices when specified. Its objective is to determine the reliability of the insulation grip in crimped connections, verifying mechanical retention of cable insulation.Test Specimen Preparation
Specimens must include crimp contacts or terminal ends attached to cables with the largest and smallest insulation sizes specified for the grip. Proper crimping is essential, and cables should be held solely by the insulation grip to simulate actual operational stress.Test Methodology
The crimped connection is subjected to mechanical bending by winding the wire around a mandrel matching specified dimensions. The wire is wound for at least one complete turn, applying tension to maintain contact and stress. The test involves cycling the wire bending at least ten times, bending in multiple directions to evaluate grip effectiveness from various angles.Pre-Conditioning and Environmental Considerations
The test is conducted under normal laboratory temperature unless otherwise stated, recognizing that temperature influences insulation flexibility. Any pre-conditioning of samples required by the detail specification must be applied.Examination and Evaluation
Visual inspections are performed before and after testing to detect defects or damage. Post-test evaluation includes verifying that the conductor remains securely held and undamaged by removing the conductor and examining it, ensuring the grip’s mechanical integrity is maintained.Specification Details for Testing
The standard also details requirements to be specified when the test is applied, including preconditioning, cable sizes, number of test specimens, tooling details, lubricant use, tension applied, and number of cycles.
Applications
Connector Quality Assurance
Ensures connectors used in electronic and electromechanical assemblies meet stringent mechanical retention criteria for wire insulation, vital for component reliability and safety.Connector Design Validation
Manufacturers use this test to validate new crimp designs and materials ensuring the insulation grip can withstand expected mechanical stresses in service.Compliance and Regulatory Testing
Provides a benchmark test method referenced in technical specifications and product certifications, facilitating compliance with international and regional standards.Failure Analysis and Improvement
Enables identification of weak points in crimped connector assemblies, contributing to improved product robustness and enhanced electrical performance over product life cycles.

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 accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sen
