This part of IEC 60352 is applicable to spring clamp connections made with stripped wire without further preparation:
– solid conductors of 0,32 mm to 3,7 mm nominal diameter (0,08 mm 2 to 10 mm 2 cross ‑section), or
– stranded conductors of 0,08 mm 2 to 10 mm 2 cross-section, or
– flexible conductors of 0,08 mm 2 to 10 mm 2 cross-section,
according to IEC 60228 or IEC 60189-3 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 conditions.
The object of this document is to determine the suitability of spring clamp connections under specified mechanical, electrical and atmospheric conditions.
