What is BS EN 2591-409 - Test methods for contact retention about?
BS EN 2591-409 is a European standard that discusses test methods for the elements of the electrical and optical connection.
BS EN 2591-409 specifies a method of assessing the retention in insert of contacts used in elements of connection subjected to axial loads.
BS EN 2591-409 shall be used together with EN 2591.
Who is BS EN 2591-409 - Test methods for contact retention for?
BS EN 2591-409 on test methods for contact retention is relevant to:
- Contacts manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
Why should you use BS EN 2591-409 - Test methods for contact retention?
Contact retention means ensuring proper axial contact positioning, facilitating assembly of the contacts and wiring/harnesses, and may allow the connector to be repaired. These features absorb contact mating forces and resist forces resulting from the normal use of the connector.
BS EN 2591-409 guides you on the preparation of specimens and provides test methods and procedures for assessing the retention in insert of contacts.
BS EN 2591-409 covers the final measurements and requirements of the method for effectively assessing the retention in insert of contacts.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2591-409, you can standardize and demonstrate the reliability of your contacts in electrical and optical connections to build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
