Aerospace series - Elements of electrical and optical connection - Test methods - Part 305: Rapid change of temperature
General Information
Overview
EN 2591-305:1997 - part of the Aerospace series published by CEN - specifies a test method for assessing the ability of elements of electrical and optical connection to withstand rapid change of temperature (thermal shock). This part is intended to be used together with EN 2591 and provides a standardized procedure to evaluate connector performance when exposed to fast temperature transients typical of aerospace environments. The Slovenian adoption is published as SIST EN 2591-305:2001 and is identical to the CEN text.
Key Topics
- Purpose and scope: Defines the objective of the test - to assess resistance to rapid temperature changes that can affect electrical contact integrity, optical alignment, mechanical sealing and material stability.
- Test method framework: Describes the sequence and general approach for subjecting connector elements to rapid thermal transitions and monitoring effects.
- Specimen handling and preparation: Covers requirements for test samples, mounting, and pre-test inspections to ensure representative and repeatable conditions.
- Performance monitoring: Specifies how to observe and record electrical and optical properties during and after the test (for example: continuity, contact resistance, signal loss), plus visual and mechanical inspections to detect degradation.
- Acceptance and reporting: Requires documentation of test conditions, measurements and observed failures; intended to be interpreted together with EN 2591 for pass/fail criteria and detailed requirements.
Applications
- Qualification and verification of aerospace connectors (electrical and fiber optic) for flight hardware.
- Supplier and procurement specifications to ensure components can survive thermal shock encountered in service.
- Design validation for engineers assessing connector durability under rapid temperature transients (e.g., engine bay, avionics bays, external skins).
- Environmental test laboratories performing standardized thermal shock tests as part of component certification or lot acceptance.
- Maintenance and reliability assessments where rapid temperature cycling is a known failure mode.
Who Should Use This Standard
- Aerospace component manufacturers and connector suppliers
- Design and systems engineers in aerospace and defense industries
- Test laboratories and certification bodies
- Procurement and quality assurance teams specifying environmental qualifications
