Complete deformation of all individual wire strands into a honeycomb-like structure. No void spaces or air gaps inside the barrel.
Measures the absolute physical retention limits of the wire inside the barrel. Contact resistance din en 60352-2 pdf
This standard provides the general requirements, test methods, and practical guidance for crimp connections made with stranded wires or solid conductors. It ensures that electrical connections remain reliable under thermal, mechanical, and atmospheric stress without the use of solder. Key Technical Requirements
: Provides guidance on wire preparation (cutting and stripping), tool usage, and the selection of compatible crimp barrels. Test Methods
A central directive of the standard states that high-quality results rely on matching components from the same system ecosystem. The PDF opened
: Specifies requirements for crimp barrel materials (using tensile strength metrics) and surface finishes, such as replacing tin-lead with tin-alloy to comply with RoHS regulations. Workmanship
: As this is an adoption of the international standard IEC 60352-2 , it can be purchased there as well.
: Compliance is often required for certifications like CE or UL, especially in automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. How to Access the PDF No void spaces or air gaps inside the barrel
The wire is pulled at a constant speed until it breaks or pulls out of the terminal. The force is recorded and compared against the standard's threshold tables.
An incorrect crimp height indicates under-crimping (loose wire) or over-crimping (broken wire strands).
Do you need the for a specific wire gauge ( mm2m m squared
Platforms like ANSI (US), BSI (UK), or SAI Global.
: The insulation must be gripped correctly by the insulation barrel without entering the wire crimp barrel.
