IEC 60352-6:1997 pdf download.Solderless connections – Part 6: Insulation piercing connections – General requirements, test methods and practical guidance
1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 60352 is applicable to insulation piercing connections made with stranded
wires and tinsel-wire, flat conductors and flat flexible circuitries for use in telecommunication
equipment and in electronic devices employing similar techniques.
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 standard 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
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 standard.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this part of IEC 60352, the terms and definitions of IEC 60050(581 ) and
IEC 6051 2-1 and the following additional terms and definitions apply.
3.1 insulation piercing connection: A solderless connection made by suitable piercing
elements, which pierce the insulation and provide contact by deforming or penetrating the
conductor. [IEV 581 -03-42]
3.1 .1 integrated insulation piercing connection with stranded conductor or tinsel-wire:
An integrated insulation piercing connection which is part of a multipole connector.
For example, for the free connector (see note) the piercing zone and its housing are integral
parts of the connection (see figure 1 ).
Usually all insulation piercing connections of the connector are made in one step.
