This part of IEC 60352 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 to provide a means of comparing test results when the tools used to make the connections are of different designs or manufacture.
