What is BS EN 2591-418 - Gauge insertion/extraction forces (female contacts) about?
BS EN 2591 is a European standard that discusses the test methods for elements of the electrical and optical connection.
BS EN 2591-418 specifies a method of determining the insertion/extraction forces of female contacts used in elements of electrical and optical connection using gauges.
BS EN 2591-418 shall be used together with EN 2591-100.
Who is BS EN 2591-418 - Gauge insertion/extraction forces (female contacts) for?
BS EN 2591-418 on gauge insertion/extraction forces (female contacts) is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of gauge and other elements of electrical and optical connection
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Quality control personnel
- Aerospace technical specialists
Why should you use BS EN 2591-418 - Gauge insertion/extraction forces (female contacts)?
The insertion force test is to place the two pluggable electronic connectors in the initial position of the mechanical insertion, and the readings of the force gauge and the torque gauge are both zero.
BS EN 2591-418 guides you on the preparation of specimens and provides test methods for calculating insertion/extraction forces of female contacts.
BS EN 2591-418 also covers all the requirements and procedures of the method for calculating insertion/extraction forces of female contacts used in the electrical and optical connections using gauges.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2591-418, you can demonstrate the reliability of female contracts used in electrical and optical connections and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
