IEC 60352-5 Overview

Updated Plating Specs: Modified the copper thickness limits for plated-through holes to match contemporary market practices.

IEC 60352-5 is the international standard governing solderless press-in (press-fit) connections used in electrical and electronic equipment. It establishes the mechanical, electrical, and environmental requirements to ensure these connections remain stable and reliable over their lifecycle. Core Objective

6. Practical Design Guidelines (Extending the Standard)

While IEC 60352-5 specifies tests, it doesn't provide exhaustive design rules. Based on industrial best practices:
