Solderless connections - Part 6: Insulation piercing connections - General requirements, test methods and practical guidance

IEC 60352-6:2022 This part of IEC 60352 is applicable to insulation piercing connections made with stranded wires and tinsel wires, insulated flat conductors and flat flexible circuitries for use in electrical and electronic equipment. Information on materials and data from industrial experience is included in addition to the test procedures to provide electrically stable connections under prescribed environmental conditions. The object of this document is to:  
determine the suitability of insulation piercing connections under specified mechanical, electrical, and atmospheric conditions;
provide a means of comparing test results when the tools used to make the connections, if any, are of different designs or manufacture.

Connexions sans soudure - Partie 6: Connexions à percement d'isolant - Exigences générales, méthodes d'essai et guide pratique

La présente partie de la CEI 60352 est applicable aux connexions de perçage d’isolation réalisées avec des fils toronnés et des fils de guirlandes, des conducteurs plats isolés et des circuits plats flexibles destinés à être utilisés dans des équipements électriques et électroniques. Des informations sur les matériaux et des données provenant de l’expérience industrielle sont incluses en plus des procédures d’essai pour fournir des connexions électriquement stables dans les conditions environnementales prescrites. L’objet de ce document est de :  
déterminer l’adéquation des raccords de perçage isolant dans des conditions mécaniques, électriques et atmosphériques spécifiées;  
fournir un moyen de comparer les résultats des essais lorsque les outils utilisés pour effectuer les connexions, le cas échéant, sont de conception ou de fabrication différentes.

Spoji brez spajke - 6. del: Spoji, ki prebadajo izolacijo - Splošne zahteve, preskusne metode in praktični napotki (IEC 60352-6:2022)

Ta del standarda IEC 60352 se uporablja za spoje, ki prebadajo izolacijo, izdelane s pramenastimi in opletenimi žicami, izoliranimi ploščatimi vodniki ter ploščatimi fleksibilnimi vezji 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.
Cilj tega dokumenta je:
– določiti primernost spojev, ki prebadajo izolacijo, v določenih mehanskih, električnih in atmosferskih pogojih;
– zagotoviti možnosti za primerjavo rezultatov preskusov, kadar so orodja za izdelavo spojev, če obstajajo, različno načrtovana ali izdelana.
V uporabi so različne zasnove in materiali za zaključke, ki prebadajo izolacijo. Zato so v tem dokumentu določeni samo temeljni parametri zaključka, zahteve glede lastnosti vodnika ter celoten spoj.
