DIN EN 60352-5:2012-10

This standard contains requirements, tests and practical guidance for solderless press-in connections for use in telecommunication equipment and in electronic devices employing similar techniques. The press-in connection consists of a termination having a suitable press-in zone which is inserted into a plated-through hole of a double-sided or multilayer printed board. The object of this standard 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. Significant modifications with regard to the previous edition of this standard concern the supplementation of Annex A and the incorporation of further practical guidance, the omission of all tables with hole diameters and the incorporation of additional information to define and explain the tolerance range for holes in the test printed board. The responsible committee is DKE/K 651 "Steckverbinder" ("Connector") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
