The series DIN EN 60512 contains basic measurement and test methods for connectors for electronic equipment. This standard describes a test method to assess the possibility of whisker growth by external mechanical stress on the tin and tin-alloy plated parts of a connector in its application (after wire termination, after soldering, after mounting, mated with counterpart). This standard does not cover internal stress type whisker. While for internal stress type whisker it is possible to apply accelerated test conditions, for example, by damp heat or temperature cycling, there are no accelerated conditions for the external mechanical stress type whisker covered by this standard due to the different whisker generation mechanism. The test detailed in this standard shall then be conducted under normal ambient conditions. The responsible committee is DKE/K 651 "Steckverbinder" ("Connector") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
