What is BS EN 2591-416 – Contact bending strength about?
BS EN 2591-416 specifies a method of determining the bending strength of male contacts used in elements of the electrical and optical connection.
Note 1: BS EN 2591-416 applies only to male contacts of a nominal diameter of 1 mm.
Note 2: BS EN 2591-416 shall be used together with BS EN 2591-100.
Who is BS EN 2591-416 - Contact bending strength for?
BS EN 2591-416 on contact bending test of electrical and optical elements is useful for:
- Aerospace and Aeronautical Industry
- Manufacturers of aerospace components
- Manufacturers of electrical elements
- Aerospace and mechanical engineers
- Testing agencies of the required components
Why should you use BS EN 2591-416 - Contact bending strength?
The aerospace industry is progressing daily and has been widely using electricity in aircraft. Electrical connections are an important element in aircraft to enable its smooth functioning. The bending strength of electrical elements ensures their strength and reliability as well as flexibility. The bending strength also determines the stress resistance of the elements. Hence, having test methods is vital.
Testing can be complex, and standardization is necessary for these elements due to their critical applications. BS EN 2591-416 guidelines ensure smooth testing and help in maintaining the high performance of the electrical elements. Adopting BS EN 2591-416 informs customers about the best-in-class practices and maximizes the safety when using the electrical elements too.
