Overview
SIST EN 60512-16-11:2008, published by CENELEC (CLC), is a European Standard that specifies a mechanical test method designed to assess the stripping force required to separate solderless wrapped connections from their posts along the axis. This standard is aligned with IEC 60512-16-11:2008 and is part of a series addressing tests and measurements for connectors used in electronic equipment. The test is critical for ensuring the mechanical reliability of wrapped wire connections, which are common in electronic assemblies requiring robust electrical and mechanical performance.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a uniform, repeatable procedure to determine whether solderless wrapped connections can withstand axial stripping forces that might occur during installation or operation. Wrapped connections referenced in this standard are described in IEC 60352-1.
Key Topics
- Stripping Force Measurement: Outlines a procedure for applying a controlled axial force to test the mechanical strength of solderless wrapped connections.
- Test Equipment: Specifies the use of a holding device and a stripping tool with defined clearances and travel speeds to ensure consistent results.
- Sample Preparation: Requires samples to be prepared according to relevant detail specifications, including any necessary preconditioning.
- Test Procedure: The force is applied along the axis of the post at a defined rate until the wrapped connection moves a predetermined distance.
- Measurement and Validation:
- Pre-test visual inspection according to IEC 60512-1-1.
- Recording peak force required for stripping and the rate of force application.
- Compliance based on minimum allowable force specified for the application.
- Reporting Requirements: The standard specifies the need to document preconditioning, sample details, minimum acceptable force, and any deviations from the standard method.
Applications
SIST EN 60512-16-11:2008 is widely used in industries where the mechanical integrity of solderless wrapped connections is vital. Key applications include:
- Electronic Equipment Manufacturing: Ensures connectors and terminations meet durability and safety requirements for use in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications devices.
- Quality Assurance: Provides manufacturers and testing laboratories with a standardized method for validating connector strength, minimizing failure risks.
- Component Qualification: Helps component makers certify that products meet international expectations for mechanical performance, facilitating market acceptance.
- Design Validation: Supports engineers in verifying designs for connector systems where solderless wrapped wires are employed, particularly where mechanical stresses may be encountered during use.
Related Standards
For comprehensive testing and qualification of connectors, SIST EN 60512-16-11:2008 should be used in conjunction with related standards, including:
- IEC 60352-1 / EN 60352-1: Solderless connections - General requirements, test methods, and practical guidance, particularly for wrapped connections.
- IEC 60512-1 and EN 60512-1-1: General examination and visual inspection procedures for connectors in electronic equipment.
- EN 60512 Series: A broader set of test methods covering various electrical and mechanical performance aspects of connectors.
