What is BS EN 2997-009 – Product standard for protective cover for receptacles about?
BS EN 2997 is a European standard on aerospace that discusses circular electrical connectors. BS EN 2997-009 provides the product standard for protective covers for receptacles to ensure a high-quality product.
BS EN 2997-009 is the ninth part of a multi-part series that specifies the characteristics of protective covers for receptacles in the family of circular electrical connectors coupled by a threaded ring.
BS EN 2997-009 applies to the class defined in Table 2.
For receptacles associated with these protective covers, see EN 2997-003 to EN 2997-007.
Who is BS EN 2997-009 – Product standard for protective cover for receptacles for?
BS EN 2997-009 on product standard for protective covers for receptacles is useful for:
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Manufacturers of protective covers
- Aerospace and defence industries

Why should you use BS EN 2997-009 – Product standard for protective cover for receptacles?
An electrical connector is a device that connects two active devices to transmit current or signals. Receptacles provide reliable protection for all types of de-coupled connectors.
The guidelines provided in BS EN 2997-009 assist in selecting the right protective covers for receptacles as well as a suitable connector to improve the production process. In case an electronic component fails, the failed component can be replaced when an electrical connector is installed.
BS EN 2997-009 covers the terms and definitions, required characteristics, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the protective covers for receptacles for an electrical connector.
BS EN 2997-009 assists design engineers in designing electrical connectors as per specifications that enhance the reliability of their products.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 2997-009, you can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain. In addition, it assists in building high-quality durable protective covers for the receptacle.
