Solderless connections - Part 2: Crimped connections - General requirements, test methods and practical guidance (IEC 60352-2:2024)

IEC 60352-2:2024 is applicable to solderless crimped connections made with:
- appropriately designed uninsulated or pre-insulated crimp barrels as parts of crimp contacts, terminal ends or splices, and
- stranded wires of 0,05 mm2 to 10 mm2 cross-section or
- solid wires of 0,25 mm to 3,6 mm diameter;
for use in electrical and electronic equipment.
Information on the materials and data from industrial experience is included in addition to the test procedures to provide electrically stable connections under prescribed environmental conditions.
This part of IEC 60352 is not applicable to crimping of coaxial cables.
This part of IEC 60352 determines the suitability of solderless crimped connections as described above, under specified mechanical, electrical and atmospheric conditions and provides a means of comparing test results when the tools used to make the connections are of different designs or manufacture.

Connexions sans soudure - Partie 2: Connexions serties - Exigences générales, méthodes d\'essai et guide pratique (IEC 60352-2:2024)

IEC 60352-2:2024 s’applique aux connexions serties sans soudure réalisées avec:
- des fûts à sertir non isolés ou pré-isolés, de conception appropriée, utilisés en tant que parties de contacts à sertir, d’embouts ou de jonctions de fils; et
- des fils câblés de section comprise entre 0,05 mm2 et 10 mm2; ou
- des fils massifs de 0,25 mm à 3,6 mm de diamètre;
destinés à être utilisés dans des équipements électriques et électroniques.
Des informations sur les matériaux et des données émanant de l’expérience industrielle sont fournies en plus des procédures d’essai afin de fournir des connexions électriquement stables dans les conditions d’environnement prescrites.
La présente partie de l’IEC 60352 ne s’applique pas au sertissage des câbles coaxiaux.
La présente partie de l’IEC 60352 détermine la conformité des connexions serties sans soudure telles que décrites ci-dessus, dans des conditions mécaniques, électriques et atmosphériques spécifiées, et fournit un moyen pour comparer les résultats d’essai lorsque les outils utilisés pour réaliser les connexions sont de conception ou de fabrication différentes.

Nespajkani spoji - 2. del: Nespajkani stisnjeni spoji - Splošne zahteve, preskusne metode in praktični napotki (IEC 60352-2:2024)

Ta del standarda IEC 60352 se uporablja za nespajkane stisnjene spoje, izdelane iz:
– ustrezno oblikovanih neizoliranih ali predhodno izoliranih tulcev za stiskanje kot delov kontaktov za stiskanje, zaključkov ali spojnic; in
– pramenastih žic s prečnim prerezom od 0,05 mm2 do 10 mm2 ali
– masivnih žic s premerom od 0,25 mm do 3,6 mm;
za uporabo v električni in elektronski opremi.
Poleg preskusnih postopkov so vključene informacije o materialih in podatki na podlagi industrijskih izkušenj, da se zagotovijo stabilni električni spoji v skladu s predpisanimi okoljskimi pogoji.
Ta del standarda IEC 60352 se ne uporablja za stiskanje koaksialnih kablov.
Ta del standarda IEC 60352 določa primernost nespajkanih stisnjenih spojev, kot je opisano zgoraj, v skladu z mehanskimi, električnimi in atmosferskimi pogoji ter zagotavlja možnost za primerjavo rezultatov preskusov, kadar so orodja za izdelavo spojev različno načrtovana ali izdelana.
