Overview

EN 60512-16-13:2008 / IEC 60512-16-13:2008 specifies a standard mechanical test method - Test 16m: Un-wrapping, solderless wrapped connections - used to determine whether a solderless wrapped (wire-wrap) connection has been made without damaging the wrapping wire. The procedure is intended for connectors for electronic equipment and covers the un-wrapping action, observations and acceptance criteria. Note: this test is regarded as destructive to specimens.

Keywords: connectors for electronic equipment, solderless wrapped connections, un‑wrapping test, IEC 60512-16-13, mechanical tests on contacts and terminations.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Objective: Verify that a wrapped connection can be un-wrapped without causing breakage or imminent failure of the wrapping wire.
• Specimen preparation:
  • Use a wrap post with a wrapped connection as defined in the applicable detail specification; pre-conditioning (if required) must be applied.
  • Geometrical, metallurgical and surface finish details of post and wire, tooling and application details are essential when specified.
• Test equipment and setup:
  • Mount the wrap post so it can be freely rotated about its axis.
  • Provide a means (manual or otherwise) to keep the wrapping wire under a small but adequate tension that does not add twist or stress.
• Procedure:
  • Carefully un-wrap by rotating the post while keeping the wire tensioned so the wire is substantially straightened.
• Measurements and acceptance:
  • Conduct a visual examination per IEC 60512-1-1 before testing; specimens must be free of defects that would invalidate the test.
  • During testing, the wire shall be substantially straightened without breaking.
  • Record any areas of damage that do not immediately break the wire but indicate imminent failure.
  • Note: small notches or indentations from wrapping are normal and expected.
• Documentation:
  • Detail any preconditioning, specimen specifics, number of specimens, and deviations from the standard test method in the detail specification.

Applications and users

• Practical use cases:
  • Qualification and routine testing of connector wrap posts and solderless wrapped connections in electronic assemblies.
  • Failure analysis where wrap integrity after installation or service life is questioned.
  • Quality control during connector design, production and incoming inspection.
• Typical users:
  • Connector and component manufacturers
  • Test laboratories and third‑party certification bodies
  • Design and reliability engineers, procurement and quality assurance teams
  • Standards writers and compliance officers

Related standards

• IEC 60352-1 - Solderless connections - Part 1: Wrapped connections (general requirements and guidance)
• IEC 60512-1 and IEC 60512-1-100 - General structure and general examination (Test 1a: visual examination)
• EN/CENELEC adoption: EN 60512-16-13:2008

This standard is part of the IEC 60512 series for connector tests and should be referenced alongside the cited normative documents when specifying wrapped-connection test requirements.
