Overview
EN 2593-001:2014 is a CEN technical specification in the Aerospace series that defines the characteristics, installation and mounting dimensions for plug-in relay bases designed for 10 A electromagnetic, two- and four-pole double-throw relays (mating with EN 2548-001 relays). The standard covers materials, sealing, polarizing/keying, marking, packaging, storage and qualification/quality-assurance requirements for aerospace relay bases intended for extreme environments (ambient temperatures from −70 °C to 125 °C and altitudes up to 25 000 m).
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope & Interface
- Relay bases for 10 A plug-in relays, two- and four-pole double-throw, to be used with EN 2548-001 relays.
- Derived from MIL-S-12883/40 and MIL-S-12883/41 lineage.
- Environmental Range
- Operational temperature: −70 °C to 125 °C.
- Altitude capability: up to 25 000 m.
- Materials & Construction
- Socket body: non‑flammable thermoplastic (per EN 2349-100).
- Interface seal: silicon rubber providing environmental sealing and electrical isolation.
- Crimp contacts: per EN 3155-017; gold plating 1.27 µm minimum.
- Metal hardware: non‑magnetic corrosion-resistant steel.
- Mechanical & Functional Features
- Retaining clip to ensure permanent holding of crimp contacts.
- Polarizing holes (two‑pole) and keyed terminal positions (four‑pole) to prevent incorrect relay insertion.
- Insertion/extraction forces and mating/unmating requirement: < 36 N for specified types.
- Testing & Qualification
- Qualification and maintenance tests reference EN 2349-100 test methods: vibration (sinusoidal & random), shock, thermal cycling, salt spray, humidity/low pressure, ozone, mould, insulation resistance, dielectric strength, contact voltage drop, overload and switching performance.
- Qualification tests must be performed with the mating relay; periodic requalification is required.
- Marking, Packaging & Storage
- Marking: EN reference, manufacture date (year-week), manufacturer name/trademark, terminal IDs.
- Delivery: individual plastic bags, accessories separately packed; store in original packaging protected from UV.
Applications / Who Uses This Standard
- Aerospace component manufacturers and relay base suppliers designing and producing aerospace relay bases.
- Systems and avionics designers specifying plug-in relay interfaces for aircraft and spacecraft.
- Qualification and test laboratories performing environmental and electrical testing on relay assemblies.
- Procurement, quality assurance and certification teams ensuring component compliance with aerospace electrical interface standards.
