SOLDERLESS CONNECTIONS –

Part 5: Press-in connections – General requirements,
test methods and practical guidance

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.
International Standard IEC 60352-5 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Electrical
connectors, of IEC technical committee 48: Electrical connectors and mechanical structures
for electrical and electronic equipment.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2012. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) revising the scope by removing the wording "… telecommunication equipment and in
electronic devices employing similar techniques" and replacing it by "… electrical and
electronic equipment and components" in the first paragraph;
b) adding terms and definitions for 'board', 'hole' and 'metal board' to recognize that press-in
terminations are being used in many non-printed board materials;

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST EN IEC 60352-5:2020
IEC 60352-5:2020 © IEC 2020 – 5 –
c) editorial changes to clarify the difference between the two test schedules for qualification
and application;
d) modification of upper limit of copper thickness of the plated-through-hole to reflect actual
market trends and manufacturing practices;
e) removal of bending test, as this test is very specific for applications of press-in technology
no longer common;
f) adding graphs to document the press-in and push-out force, since this is common testing
practice and provides further insight into mechanical performance of the contact zone;
g) reducing the number of test specimens required, since in previous testing scheme a lot of
test samples were discarded;
h) new wording in 4.5 for cracked and bent terminations;
i) added Figure 7b to show V and A connection locations when the press-in termination does
not protrude through the bottom side of the board.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
48B/2810/FDIS 48B/2822/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60352 series, published under the general title Solderless
connections, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 60352 includes requirements and relevant tests (normative) as well as a
practical guidance in Annex A (informative) for press-in connections.
Two test schedules are provided.
a) The qualification test schedule applies to individual press-in connections to demonstrate
the suitability of the press-in zone.
These press-in connections are tested to the specification provided by the manufacturer of
the press-in termination (see 4.6) taking into account the requirements of Clause 4.
The qualification is independent of the application of the press-in zone in a component.
b) The application test schedule applies to press-in connections which are part of a
component and are already qualified to the qualification test schedule.
Test sequences focus on the performance of the press-in connection which is affected by
the implementation in a component.
The requirements and tests apply to all elements involved in the manufacturing of a press-in
connection:
• the press-in termination, which may be part of a component (e.g. a multi-pole connector);
• the board, printed board or MID (moulded interconnect device) - (plated-through holes
dimensions) for which the termination is suitable;
• the tool(s) required to produce the press-in connection.
As the manufacturer of the press-in termination has to provide the main part of the information
needed for qualification, the word "manufacturer" is used throughout this document for
simplicity to indicate the manufacturer of the press-in termination. The manufacturers of the
other items playing a role in the qualification of press-in connections are specified, if needed,
as the board manufacturer or the tool(s) manufacturer.
The practical guidance in Annex A (informative) serves as a guide for the workmanship
required in 4.1. Attention is drawn to the fact that some industries (e.g. automotive, aircraft
and aerospace, nuclear, military) may have specific workmanship standards and/or quality
requirements, which are outside the scope of this document.
IEC Guide 109 advocates the need to minimize the impact of a product on the natural
environment throughout the product life cycle.

SOLDERLESS CONNECTIONS –

Part 5: Press-in connections – General requirements,
test methods and practical guidance



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60352 is applicable to solderless press-in connections for use in electrical
and electronic equipment and components.
The press-in connection consists of a termination having a suitable press-in zone which is
inserted into a hole of a board.
Information on materials and data from industrial experience is included in addition to the test
procedures to provide electrically stable connections under specified environmental conditions.
The object of this document is to determine the suitability of press-in connections under
mechanical, electrical and atmospheric conditions as specified by the manufacturer of the
press-in termination and to provide a means of comparing test results when the tools used to
make the connections are of different designs or manufacture.
