This section of IEC 60512, as dictated by the detailed specification, serves as a guideline for the testing of electrical connectors that fall under the purview of IEC Technical Committee 48. Additionally, this testing methodology can be applied to analogous devices when explicitly stated in a detailed specification.
The primary purpose of this section of IEC 60512 is to delineate a standardized testing procedure aimed at evaluating the terminations’ capacity to endure the mechanical stresses that may occur during standard assembly processes.
