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.
There are different designs and materials for insulation piercing terminations in use. For this
reason, only fundamental parameters of the termination, the performance requirements of the
conductor and the complete connection are specified in this document.

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.

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 international
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, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(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 International 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
interested 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
misinterpretation 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 between
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
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
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.
IEC 60352-6 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Electrical connectors, of IEC technical
committee 48: Electrical connectors and mechanical structures for electrical and electronic
equipment. It is an International Standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) axial load in 7.2.2 provided in a table in Annex A rather than as percentage of breaking load
of the wire;
b) different approach to measure contact resistance provided in 7.3.2.3.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 60352 applies to solderless connections made by insulation piercing (IP) and
includes requirements, tests and practical guidance information for such connection technology.
Two test schedules are provided:
– a qualification test schedule that applies to insulation piercing connections which conform
to all pre-requisites of Clause 5, which are derived from experience with successful
applications of such insulation piercing connections;
– an application test schedule that applies to insulation piercing connections made with
suitable IP termination which are integral part of a component and are already fulfilling the
pre-requisites of Clause 5.
IEC Guide 109 advocates the need to minimize the impact of a product on the natural
environment throughout the product life cycle. IEC 62430 provides principles, requirements and
guidance t
