Overview
EN 2591-310:1998 is a CEN aerospace standard that defines a test method to assess the ability of electrical and optical connection elements to function in cold environmental conditions. Intended to be used together with the EN 2591 series, this document is explicitly part of the broader test sequence referenced in EN 2591-302. The standard supports qualification and verification of connector performance where low-temperature durability and operability are critical.
Key Topics
This part of EN 2591 focuses on the following technical topics and requirements:
- Purpose and scope: method for evaluating connector behaviour under cold exposure as part of connector test programs.
- Test sequence context: intended to be applied in conjunction with the general requirements and other parts of EN 2591.
- Specimen preparation and identification: guidelines for samples and test harnesses to ensure repeatable results.
- Environmental conditioning: procedures to expose electrical and optical connection elements to specified cold conditions prior to functional checks.
- Functional and performance checks: verification of electrical continuity, insulation characteristics, optical signal integrity and mechanical mating/unmating where applicable (as defined by the EN 2591 series).
- Data recording and reporting: required documentation of test conditions, observations and results to support qualification and traceability. Note: The standard defines methods and requirements at a procedural level; specific numeric test parameters are provided in the normative text and in the companion EN 2591 parts.
Applications
EN 2591-310 is directly applicable in aerospace and high-reliability sectors where connectors must operate after exposure to low temperatures. Typical practical uses include:
- Qualification and type approval of aerospace electrical and optical connectors
- Environmental testing programs for aircraft systems, satellites and launch vehicles
- Incoming inspection and batch verification by connector manufacturers and suppliers
- Test plans created by aerospace OEMs, subcontractors and independent test laboratories
Who Uses It
- Aerospace OEMs and integrators
- Connector and interconnect manufacturers
- Environmental test laboratories and certification bodies
- Design, quality and reliability engineers working on avionics, sensors, communications and optical interconnects
