Reliability is the backbone of electronics manufacturing, and when it comes to solderless connections, IEC 60352-5 is the gold standard.
The standard's primary objective is to verify that press-in connections remain electrically stable and mechanically sound under various environmental conditions. A press-in connection involves inserting a termination with a specifically designed "press-in zone" into a hole in a board, creating a solderless joint.

The standard outlines several requirements for solderless press-in connections, including:
IEC 60335 is a organized as:
IEC revises safety standards every 5–10 years. Subscribe to change notifications.
: It now covers "electrical and electronic equipment and components" generally, removing the narrow focus on telecommunications.
