Overview

EN 2349-307:2006 is a European aerospace standard that defines a specific method for measuring contact voltage drop in relays and contactors. Issued by CEN and prepared by ASD-STAN, this Part 307 document is intended to be used together with EN 2349-100 (General requirements). The standard focuses on how to perform repeatable, comparable voltage-drop measurements under defined load and timing conditions so that manufacturers, test houses and qualification teams can demonstrate compliance with product limits specified in the applicable product standard.

Key Topics

  • Scope and application
    • Method for testing contact voltage drop on relays and contactors; complements EN 2349-100.
  • Measurement points
    • Voltage drop shall be measured on both normally-open (NO) and normally-closed (NC) contacts.
  • Plug-socket consideration
    • For devices using plug-socket holders, the voltage drop contribution of the holder must be taken into account per the product standard.
  • Energized-state conditions
    • When testing in the energized state, apply the rated coil voltage.
  • Contact loading
    • Qualification tests use the rated resistive load. For batch testing the load may be below rated current, but the measured voltage drop must be projected to the maximum permissible value at rated current.
  • Open contact voltage
    • Use 6 V DC for devices rated up to 25 A, and 28 V DC for devices rated over 25 A (DC or AC acceptable).
  • Switching and timing
    • Contacts shall not be switched under load unless the product standard allows it.
    • Take the voltage-drop measurement between 3 s and 10 s after applying the test current.
  • Sampling
    • Batch acceptance / acceptance inspection: 1 measurement per sample.
    • Qualification testing: 10 measurements.
  • Pass/fail criterion
    • Measured contact voltage drop must not exceed the value specified in the applicable product standard.

Applications

This standard is used by:

  • Aerospace component manufacturers for product design verification and production testing.
  • Environmental and electrical test laboratories performing qualification and acceptance testing.
  • Quality assurance and procurement teams verifying supplier compliance.
  • Certification bodies assessing electrical performance of relays/contactors for aircraft systems.

EN 2349-307:2006 helps ensure consistent, reproducible voltage-drop data for reliability, thermal assessment, and system-level power-loss calculations in aerospace electrical systems.
