IEC 60352-3:2020 is applicable to ID connections which are accessible for tests and measurements according to Clauses 6 through 8 and which are made with:
– appropriately designed accessible ID terminations,
– wires having solid round conductors of 0,25 mm to 3,6 mm nominal diameter,
– wires having stranded conductors of 0,05 mm2 to 10 mm2 cross-sectional area,
for use in electrical and electronic equipment and components.
Information on materials and data from industrial experience is included in addition to the test procedures to provide electrically stable connections under prescribed environmen-tal conditions.
There are different designs and materials for accessible ID terminations in use. For this reason only fundamental parameters of the termination are specified, while the perfor-mance requirements of the wire and the complete connection are specified in full detail.
The purpose of this document is:
– to determine the suitability of accessible ID connections under specified mechanical, electrical and atmospheric conditions;
– to provide a means of comparing test results when the tools used to make the con-nections, if any, are of different designs or manufacture.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the pre-vious edition:

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote interna-
tional co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this
end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Tech-
nical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publica-
tion(s)"). 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. IEC collaborates closely with the Interna-
tional Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between
the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of 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 inter-
ested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinter-
pretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence be-
tween any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and ex-
penses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publica-
tions.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60352-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Electrical
connectors, of IEC technical committee 48: Electrical connectors and mechanical structures
for electrical and electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993. This edition con-
stitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) Subclause 7.2.2: reduce the limit of duration of contact disturbance to 1 µs.
b) Subclause 7.2.3: reduce the limit of duration of contact disturbance to 1 µs.
c) Transferred Clauses 9 to 13 to Annex A (informative).
d) The figures were revised for clarity.

INTRODUCTION
The two following parts of IEC 60352 are available on solderless insulation displacement con-
nections:
– Part 3: Accessible insulation displacement connections – General requirements, test
methods and practical guidance;
– Part 4: Solderless non-accessible insulation displacement connections – General require-
ments, test methods and practical guidance.
NOTE In this document the term "insulation displacement" is abbreviated to "ID", for example "ID connection", "ID
termination".
Figure 1 illustrates examples of accessible and non-accessible insulation displacement con-
nections that clarify the difference among them.
Part 3 includes requirements and relevant tests (normative) as well as a practical guidance in
Annex A (informative) for accessible ID connections.
Two test schedules are provided:
– the basic test schedule which applies to insulation displacement connections which con-
form to all prerequisites of Clause 5. It is derived from experience with successful applica-
tions of such connections;
– the full test schedule which applies to insulation displacement connections which do not
fully conform to all prerequisites of Clause 5, for example which are manufactured using
materials or finishes not included in Clause 5.
This philosophy permits cost and time effective performance verification using a limited basic
test schedule for established insulation displacement connections and an expanded full test
schedule for connections requiring more extensive performance validation.
The suitability of the accessible ID connection implies that the specified requirements and
tests apply to all factors involved in producing a suitable ID connection, namely:
– the accessible ID termination, which may be part of a single-pole or multipole connector;
– the wire (or range of wires) for which the termination is suitable;
– the tools (if any) required to produce that type of solderless connection.
The practical guidance (informative Annex A) serves as a guideline for the required workman-
ship. Attention is drawn to the fact that some industries (e.g. automotive, aerospace, nuclear,
military) may have specific workmanship standards and/or quality requirements, which are
outside the scope of this standard.

IEC Guide 109 advocates the need to minimise 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 document may have a negative
environmental impact.
As technological advances lead to acceptable alternatives for these materials, they will be
eliminated from the document.

SOLDERLESS CONNECTIONS –
Part 3: Accessible insulation displacement (ID) connections –
General requirements, test methods and practical guidance
1 Scope
This part of IEC 60352 is applicable to ID connections which are accessible for tests and
measurements according to Clauses 6 through 8 and which are made with:
– appropriately designed accessible ID terminations,
– wires having solid round conductors of 0,25 mm to 3,6 mm nominal diameter,
2 2
– wires having stranded conductors of 0,05 mm to 10 mm cross-sectional area,
for use in electrical and electronic equipment and components.
Information on materials and data from industrial experience is included in addition to the test
procedures to provide electrically stable connections under prescribed environmental condi-
tions.
There are different designs and materials for accessible ID terminations in use. For this rea-
son only fundamental parameters of the termination are specified, while the performance re-
quirements of the wire and the complete connection are specified in full detail.
The purpose of this document is:
– to determine the suitability of accessible ID connections under specified mechanical, elec-
trical and atmospheric conditions;
– to provide a means of comparing test results when the tools used to make the connec-
tions, if any, are of different designs or manufacture.

4 Workmanship
The manufacturer of accessible ID terminations or of a component (e.g. multipole connectors)
using such terminations shall provide an instruction for the assembly of accessible
ID connections.
Accessible ID connections shall be processed in a careful and workmanlike manner, in ac-
cordance with good current practice.
Annex A (informative) provides practical guidance and may constitute a benchmark for the
assessment of workmanship.
NOTE Some industry sectors (e.g. automotive, aerospace, marine, nuclear, military) use workmanship standards
which can be considered upon agreement between manufacturer and user.
5 Prerequisites for basic test schedule
5.1 General
Accessible ID connections which fulfil the following prerequisites, which are based on the ex-
perience by the industry, shall be assessed in accordance with the basic test schedule.
– 14 – IEC 60352-3:2020 © IEC 2020
All prerequisites are essential at the same level of importance. Accessible ID connections,
which do not comply with all these prerequisites but are covered by the scope of this stand-
ard, shall be assessed in accordance with the full test schedule.
5.2 Prerequisites for accessible ID terminations
5.2.1 Accessible ID termination materials
Suitable grades of copper alloy, such as copper-tin (bronze), copper-zinc (brass), etc. shall be
used.
If copper-zinc alloys are used, there should be consideration for corrosion effects caused by
mechanical stresses in some environments.
5.2.2 Accessible ID termination dimensions
The quality of an ID connection depends on the dimensions of the accessible ID termination,
particularly of its slot and beams, together with the characteristics of the materials used. The
dimensions shall be chosen so as to be suitable for the wire or range of wires for which the
accessible ID termination is designed. The suitability is verified by applying the test schedule
given in Clauses 6 to 8.
5.2.3 Accessible ID termination surface finishes
The contact area of the accessible ID termination shall be plated with tin or with silver, gold,
palladium or their alloys. The surface of the contact area shall be free of detrimental contami-
nation or corrosion.
5.2.4 Accessible ID termination design features
Accessible ID terminations may be distinguished according to reusability conditions and ac-
cording to a range of wire sizes that can be accommodated. This results in the following
types:
– reusable ID terminations, designed to be connected more than once and designed for one
specified nominal conductor diameter or cross-section;
– reusable ID terminations, designed to be connected more than once and designed for a
specified range of conductor diameters or cross-sections;
– non-reusable ID terminations, designed to be connected once and designed for one speci-
fied nominal conductor diameter or cross-section;
– non-reusable ID terminations, designed to be connected once and designed for a specified
range of conductor diameters or cross-sections.
The edges of the beams shall be smooth and free of burrs to avoid unintentional damage to
the conductor(s) or insulation.
5.3 Prerequisites for wires and conductors
5.3.1 Wires and conductors
5.3.1.1 General
Wires with solid round conductors or stranded conductors with seven single strands according
to IEC 60228 class 2 shall be used.
5.3.1.2 Conductor materials
The conductor material shall be annealed copper. It shall have an elongation at break of not
less than 10 %.
IEC 60352-3:2020 © IEC 2020 – 15 –
5.3.1.3 Wire and conductor dimensions
Different ranges of wires shall be used:
– single solid round conductors of 0,25 mm to 1,4 mm diameter (converted 0,049 mm to
);or
1,5 mm
2 2
– stranded conductors of seven strands only and 0,075 mm to 1,5 mm cross-sectional
area.
5.3.1.4 Conductor surface finishes
Solid round conductors shall be unplated or plated with tin or silver. Stranded conductors
shall have strands unplated or plated with tin or silver.
5.3.2 Wire insulation
The manufacturer of the accessible ID termination shall specify the outside diameter of the
wire that can be accommodated.
The insulation material shall be compatible with the insulation displacement process, i.e. the
insulation material shall be capable of being readily displaced by the inner edges of the
beams without cutting the conductor or conductor strands. In the case of stranded conductors,
the insulation shall, in addition, be capable of keeping the strands in place so that they are
not unduly displaced when making the ID connection.
5.4 Accessible insulation displacement connections (accessible ID connections)
a) The combination of wire, accessible ID termination and, if applicable, connection tool shall
be compatible.
b) When inserting the wire into the connection slot of the access
