What is ISO 8092‑5 about?
ISO 8092‑5 is part five of the multi-series standard on test methods and general performance requirements for wiring harness.
ISO 8092‑5 defines terms and specifies test methods and general performance requirements for single-pole and multi-pole connections used with on-board electrical wiring harnesses of road vehicles. ISO 8092‑5 is applicable to connectors designed to be disconnected after mounting in the vehicle for repair and maintenance only.
Note- ISO 8092‑5 does not cover one-part connections, i.e., where one part of the connection has direct contact to the pattern of the printed circuit board. ISO 8092‑5 is not applicable to internal connections of electronic devices.
Who is ISO 8092‑5 for?
ISO 8092‑5 on test methods and general performance requirements for wiring harness connector is useful for:
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Vehicle electrical component manufacturers
- Vehicle repair shops
- Vehicle regulatory authorities
Why should you use ISO 8092‑5?
Along with the increase of electrical components mounted on a road vehicle, the types and numbers of connectors mounted on the automobile increase and the connector mating work becomes harder in such circumstances. Especially from the viewpoint of ergonomics, this problem is addressed seriously. To comprehend the characteristics of connector mate/unmate operation, their test procedures are specified in ISO 8092‑5.
Studies show that assembly plant workers depend on audible feedback to indicate full seating of electrical connectors. ISO 8092‑5 provides tests to determines the intensity of the sound made when a connector is fully mated.
