BS EN 60512-16-6:2008

What is BS EN 60512-16-6 - Assessing the robustness of terminations about?  

Electrical connectors are used to join electrical conductors to create an electrical circuit.  

BS EN 60512-16-6, when required by the detail specification, is used for testing electrical connectors within the scope of IEC technical committee 48. This test may also be used for similar devices when specified in a detailed specification. 

The object of BS EN 60512-16-6 is to detail a standard test method to assess the ability of terminations to withstand the mechanical stresses likely to be applied during normal assembly operations. 

Who is BS EN 60512-16-6 - Assessing the robustness of terminations for?  

BS EN 60512-16-6 on assessing the robustness of terminations is useful for:  

• Manufacturers of electronic devices  
• Maintenance and augmentation teams   
• Companies associated with designing and installation of electronic devices  
• Fault management teams 
• Quality management teams 

Why should you use BS EN 60512-16-6 - Assessing the robustness of terminations? 

Electronic equipment is used in applications that rely on mechanical or electric systems for their operation. They are essential to any work on electronics systems for creating signals and capturing responses from electronic devices. There are certain specifications regarding the performance of electronic equipment. 

BS EN 60512-16-6 walks you through the test method of measuring the robustness of terminations for electronic equipment. This includes: 

• Preparation of specimen 
• Mounting 
• Procedure 
• Measurements and requirements before, during and after testing 

The guidelines in BS EN 60512-16-6 help you assess the robustness of terminations for electronic equipment that enable you to provide a superior quality product to your customers.
