This part of IEC 60512, when required by the detail specification, is used for testing
connectors within the scope of technical committee 48. This test may also be used for similar
devices when specified in a detail specification.
The object of this document is to detail a standard test method to assess the effectiveness of
the contact retaining system to withstand axial loads likely to be encountered during normal
use. The contact retaining system may retain the contact in an insert or directly into a
housing.
