17、e; fitted with a device which prevents the tool from returning to open position before the completion of this cycle 3.2 test piece consists of a length of terminated cable For further definitions see IEC 60050-581. 4 General requirements for crimping The cable cross-section shall be compatible with
18、the crimp barrel and be within the limits defined in the specification for connectors, connection components and tooling being used. It shall be verified that the combination “conductor - crimp tool - crimp barrel“ complies with the requirements of the wiring and has been qualified by the responsibl
19、e authorities. The crimping of the conductor shall be carried out in a single operation with the aid of the appropriate tooling approved by the manufacturer of the connection components. This operation shall not require any additional heating or cooling. No additional operation such as brazing, etc.
20、 shall be carried out on a crimped connection. The organization and preparation of the work area shall be such that: the tooling is constantly maintained in good condition; a check can be made that only the tools and accessories adapted to this type of crimping are used; there have been no adjusteme
21、nts to the tooling. During handling and transport, the crimped connections shall not be subjected to any stress likely to cause deterioration. 5 Tooling The crimping tools and their accessories shall be approved by the responsible authorities. prEN 2242:2011 (E) 5 6 Procedures 6.1 General Before man
22、ufacturing, test pieces shall be prepared for each combination “conductor - crimp tool - crimp barrel“ to be tested to qualify the crimping process. 6.2 Checking of tooling 6.2.1 Stripping tool Before stripping, ensure that the stripping tool has been inspected and meets the requirements of EN 2812.
23、 6.2.2 Crimping tool Ensure that the crimping tool has been inspected and that the crimping mechanism is functioning correctly. 6.3 Preparation of test pieces The test pieces shall be tracable to the electrical cable they represent. 6.4 Inspection prior to crimping Check that the connection componen
24、ts and the cable conform to the definition documentation. In addition to the general requirements (see Clause 4), the connection components shall be clean, free from any trace of corrosion and shall not show any defects. However, a uniform and superficial discoloration is tolerated. The cable shall
25、be stripped in accordance with EN 2812. Crimping of multiple conductors In the case of crimping two conductors in one connection component, the following conditions shall be observed: the sum of the two actual sections of the conductors shall be compatible with the section permitted by the connectio
26、n component; the stripping lengths of the cable ends shall be identical; all the strands of the two conductors, placed parallel to each other, shall enter easily into the connection component; the crimping operation shall not cause any offset of one conductor in relation to the other; the tensile st
27、rength of the crimped connection of each conductor shall conform to the minimum tensile strength value defined for the cross-section of that conductor in Table 1, when tested in accordance with EN 2591-417. 6.5 Crimping The test pieces shall be made only with the connection components and under the
28、specified manufacturing conditions. Each end of the test piece shall be fitted with an identical barrel. prEN 2242:2011 (E) 6 6.6 Tests after crimping 6.6.1 General They shall be carried out on five test pieces of the minimum conductor cross-section and five test pieces of the maximum conductor cros
29、s-section. These tests shall be repeated if one of the following conditions changes: material of strands of the conductors; metallic covering of strands : tin plating, silver or nickel plating, etc.; size of connection components; types of tools used, with corresponding accessories. 6.6.2 Visual ins
30、pection It shall be carried out on all test pieces see Annex A (normative) and Annex B (normative): Ensure that: the form and location of the crimps are correct, see Figure A.1, Figure A.2 and Figure A.3; the stripping length is correct and that the strands of the conductor are all correctly inserte
31、d in the barrel (conductor visible through the inspection hole), see Figure A.3; the distance between the insulation of the cable and the barrel is such that no bending of the cable can exert stress in the area of the barrel, see Figure A.2; the conductor at the rear of the barrel is not deformed, s
32、ee Figure A.2; the connection component shows no defects and no burr, sharp edge, crack or lift off of the protection, or distortions according to EN 2591-503. Requirement: if the inspection is not satisfactory, the crimping process shall be revised. 6.6.3 Tensile test Each test piece which has sati
33、sfied the visual inspection shall be submitted to the tensile strength test according to EN 2591-417. Insulation grip shall be rendered ineffective, before the test is carried out. Requirement: if one of the crimped connections fractures at a value lower than that specified in Table 1, the crimping
34、process shall be reviewed. prEN 2242:2011 (E) 7 Table 1 Nominal sections of conductors AWG a Nominal contact size b Minimum tensile strength of crimped connections mm2N 0,15 c 26 39 0,25 c 24 550,40 22 60 0,60 20 901,00 18 b20 1201,00 18 150 1,20 16 1802,00 14 300 3,00 12 4505,00 10 700 9,00 8 1 080
