SIST EN 2591-6323:2004 - Aerospace series - Elements of electrical and optical connection - Test methods - Part 6323: Optical elements - Thermal shock (Hermetically sealed devices)

Overview

EN 2591-6323:2002 - part of the Aerospace series published by CEN - specifies a test method to verify the ability of optical connection elements with hermetic sealing to withstand thermal shock. It is intended for use together with EN 2591-100 (general test method rules) and draws on other EN 2591 test procedures. The scope covers hermetically sealed optical devices and defines specimen preparation, test apparatus reference, thermal shock cycling and required measurements.

Key topics and requirements

  • Purpose: Validate mechanical and optical integrity of hermetically sealed optical elements under rapid temperature change (thermal shock).
  • Specimen preparation: Specimens must be fitted with required accessories and terminations. Mandatory details to record include:
    • type and length of cable/fibre
    • maximum permitted insertion loss
    • number of specimens
  • Apparatus: Test equipment and setup are to follow the requirements in EN 2591-323 (thermal shock apparatus).
  • Test procedure:
    • Perform initial optical measurements (including insertion loss) in accordance with EN 2591-601.
    • Immerse the specimen, at initial temperature, centrally in the two temperature containers following the defined cycle. Immersion times are:
      • t1 = (10 ± 1) s at one temperature
      • t2 = as specified in EN 2591-323 (noted as < 5 s in the document reference)
    • A total of 10 cycles are specified.
    • Follow the recovery procedure referenced in EN 2591-323.
  • Final verification: After thermal shock and recovery, carry out the sequence of tests: EN 2591-323 → EN 2591-601 → EN 2591-6101 (visual examination) to confirm post-test performance.

Applications

  • Used by aerospace manufacturers, test laboratories and quality engineers involved with aerospace optical connectors and hermetically sealed optical devices.
  • Applies to verification of connector designs, production lot qualification, acceptance testing, and failure analysis where resistance to thermal shock is critical.
  • Helps ensure optical performance metrics (e.g., insertion loss) and hermetic integrity are retained after temperature transients experienced in aerospace environments.

Related standards

  • EN 2591-100 - General test methods for aerospace electrical and optical connection elements
  • EN 2591-323 - Thermal shock (apparatus and procedures)
  • EN 2591-601 - Insertion loss measurement
  • EN 2591-6101 - Visual examination

This standard is essential reading for engineers and test labs specifying or verifying performance of hermetically sealed optical connection elements in aerospace systems.
