The standard covers connections made with uninsulated or pre-insulated crimp barrels and applies specifically to: Cross-sections ranging from 0.05 mm2m m squared mm2m m squared . Solid wires: Diameters ranging from 0.25 mm to 3.6 mm .
The standard ensures reliability by defining strict parameters for the crimping process:
To verify compliance, DIN EN 60352-2 outlines two primary testing paths: din en 60352-2 pdf
Required for "exotic" materials like nickel, steel, or stainless steel. This schedule is more rigorous, including up to 500 current loading cycles and extensive climatic testing to ensure stability in harsh environments. EN IEC 60352-2:2024 - Crimped connections - iTeh Standards
Focuses on standard copper or copper alloy materials. It primarily involves pull-out force tests and current loading cycles on a set number of samples. The standard covers connections made with uninsulated or
Requirements include maximum allowable contact resistance and specific test currents to ensure efficient power or signal transmission without overheating.
is the definitive technical standard for solderless crimped connections used in electrical and electronic equipment . It establishes the general requirements, standardized test methods, and practical guidance needed to ensure that crimped connections remain electrically stable and mechanically secure throughout their service life. Scope and Applicability This schedule is more rigorous, including up to
It specifies the necessary pull-out force (tensile strength) that a connection must withstand to prevent accidental detachment.
Connections are tested against atmospheric conditions, including temperature rapid changes, dry heat, and damp heat, to simulate long-term field use.
Note that this standard specifically the crimping of coaxial cables. For wire sections exceeding 10 mm2m m squared mm2m m squared
