FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60352-7 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Connectors, of
IEC technical committee 48: Electromechanical components and mechanical structures for
electronic equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
48B/1228/FDIS 48B/1243/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until 2007.
At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 60352 includes requirements, tests and practical guidance information.
Two test schedules are provided.
a) The basic test schedule applies to spring-clamp connections which conform to all require-
ments of clause 4. These requirements are derived from experience with successful
applications of such spring-clamp connections.
b) The full test schedule applies to spring-clamp connections which do not fully conform to all
requirements of clause 4, for example which are manufactured using materials or finishes
not included in clause 4. This approach permits cost and time effective performance
verification using a limited basic test schedule for established spring-clamp connections
and an expanded full test schedule for spring-clamp connections requiring more extensive
performance validation.
The values given in this specification are minimum values, which are harmonized with other
IEC documents. Other standards may specify other values.

SOLDERLESS CONNECTIONS –
Part 7: Spring clamp connections – General requirements,
test methods and practical guidance
1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 60352 is applicable to spring-clamp connections made with stripped wire
without further preparation:
2 2
– solid conductors of 0,32 mm to 3,7 mm nominal diameter (0,08 mm to 10 mm cross-
section), or
2 2
– stranded conductors of 0,08 mm to 10 mm cross-section, or
2 2
– flexible conductors of 0,08 mm to 10 mm cross-section
according to IEC 60228 or IEC 60189-3 for use in telecommunication equipment and in
electronic devices employing similar techniques.
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 part of IEC 60352 is to determine the suitability of spring-clamp connections
under specified mechanical, electrical and atmospheric conditions.
NOTE IEC Guide 109 advocates the need to minimize the impact of a product on the natural environment
throughout the product life cycle. It is understood that some of the materials permitted in this standard may have a
negative environmental impact. As technological advances lead to acceptable alternatives for these materials, they
will be eliminated from this standard.
