What is BS EN 2591-426 - Test methods for contact retention system effectiveness about?
BS EN 2591 is a European standard that discusses the test methods of elements of the electrical and optical connection.
BS EN 2591-426 specifies a method of assessing the effectiveness of the contact retention system used in the electrical and optical connection subjected to a tensile force with a simultaneous rotational movement.
BS EN 2591-426 shall be used together with EN 2591-100.
Who is BS EN 2591-426 - Test methods for contact retention system effectiveness for?
BS EN 2591-426 on test methods for contact retention system effectiveness is relevant to:
- Developers of the contact retention system
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Quality control personnel
- Aerospace technical specialists
Why should you use BS EN 2591-426 - Test methods for contact retention system effectiveness?
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 2591-426 guides you on the preparation of specimens and provides test methods for assessing the effectiveness of the contact retention system.
BS EN 2591-426 also covers the requirements and procedure of the test method for affectively assessing the contact retention system that is subjected to the tensile force and used in electrical and optical connections. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2591-426, you can create a standardized approach for manufacturers to adhere to and can demonstrate the reliability of your contact retention system in electrical and optical connections to build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
