  • Steel according to DIN EN ISO 898-1, DIN EN ISO 898-5 and DIN EN 20898-2;
  • Stainless steel according to DIN EN ISO 3506-1 to DIN EN ISO 3506-3;
  • Non-ferrous metals according to DIN EN 28839.

It is intended to support the designer in the basic selection of screw connections and to provide him with an understanding of the system and terms. In principle, the standard is not exempt from experimental studies to verify the results. This is especially true for critical links.

The contact surfaces of electrical screw connections must be large. Burrs and protrusions are not allowed between the conductors to be connected, as these hinder the flow of current and cause an increase in the contact resistance due to the resulting air gaps and therefore undesirable heating of the screw connection.

When designing screw connections for electrical applications, generally low allowable interfacial pressure values ​​are very important, requiring high settlement and creep behavior.
