Overview

EN 60512-19-1:2010 is a European standard developed by CLC based on IEC 60512-19-1:2010, dedicated to testing the chemical resistance of pre-insulated crimp barrels used in connectors for electronic equipment. This standard specifies a consistent method to evaluate the fluid resistance of insulation materials on crimp terminals, ensuring their reliability under exposure to specific fluids and conditions.

This test standard is essential for manufacturers and engineers involved in the design, production, or quality assurance of electrical connectors, particularly pre-insulated crimp barrels. It helps verify that insulation can withstand exposure to various fluids without degradation that would compromise electrical safety or functionality.

Key Topics

• Scope and Purpose
  Defines the requirements for fluid resistance testing of insulation on pre-insulated crimp barrels, applicable when specified by detail specifications or technical committees under IEC TC 48.

• Specimen Preparation
  Specimens consist of a crimp contact or terminal end with pre-insulated crimp barrel, crimped in accordance with specific detail specifications, using recommended cable/wire and proper crimping tools.

• Test Methodology

  • Specimens are immersed in specified fluids at defined temperatures for typically 20 hours.
  • Post immersion, a recovery period of 1 hour under standard atmospheric conditions allows specimens to stabilize before further measurement.
  • Visual inspections are conducted to identify any splits, cuts, or deterioration of the insulation.
  • Voltage proof tests ensure no electrical breakdown occurs after fluid exposure.

• Acceptance Criteria

  • The insulation must show no signs of splitting or damage that could impair connector use.
  • Colour change in insulation is acceptable and does not constitute failure.
  • No electrical flashover or breakdown is permitted during voltage proof testing.

• Specification Details
  The detail specification must define critical parameters including: type of fluid and temperature, immersion duration, proof voltage, specimen preparation, crimping tool settings, and any deviations from the standard test method.

Applications

EN 60512-19-1:2010 is applicable in industries and sectors where electronic connectors are exposed to various chemical environments, such as:

• Automotive Electronics
  Ensures connectors in vehicles resist fluids like oils, coolants, and cleaning agents, maintaining integrity throughout service life.

• Industrial Machinery
  Validates connector durability in harsh environments that may involve exposure to hydraulic fluids, solvents, or cleaning chemicals.

• Consumer Electronics
  Certifies that connectors within devices sustain chemical exposure during manufacturing cleaning processes or end-user environments.

• Aerospace and Defense
  Critical for connectors used in high-reliability applications where fluid resistance is vital for safety and performance.

By complying with this standard, manufacturers demonstrate commitment to producing high-quality, reliable connectors capable of resisting chemical damage during operation and handling.

Related Standards

EN 60512-19-1:2010 works in conjunction with other parts of the IEC 60512 series that cover broader connector testing protocols, including:

• IEC 60512-1-1: General examination - Visual inspection of connectors to ensure manufacturing quality and absence of physical defects before chemical testing.

• IEC 60512-4-3: Voltage stress tests - Defines voltage proof tests applied after fluid exposure to detect any electrical insulation weaknesses.

These complementary standards collectively establish a comprehensive testing framework for electronic connectors, accommodating mechanical, electrical, and environmental challenges.
