IEC 60512-12-5 pdf download – Connectors for electronic equipment – Tests and measurements – Part 12-5: Soldering tests – Test 12e: Resistance to soldering heat, soldering iron method
1 Scope and object
This part of lEC 60512, when required by the detail specification, is used for testing
connectors within the scope of lEC technical committee 48.They may also be used for similardevices when specified in a detail specification.
The object of this part of lEC 60512 is to detail a standard test method to assess the ability ofa connector to withstand the heating stresses produced by a soldering iron.
