IEC 60512-16-18 Ed. 1.0 b:2008

IEC 60512-16-18:2008 details a standard test method to measure the deflection of a simulated contact in its cavity or housing. Although this test method is intended for cylindrical male contacts, and is particularly applicable to those where the contacts fit into an insert, which may have some elasticity, its use for contacts with other geometries and housing details, is not excluded.
