Overview
EN 2997-015:2011 is a European Standard developed by CEN for aerospace electrical connectors. It specifies the characteristics of jam-nut mounted receptacles with integrated accessories within the family of circular electrical connectors coupled by a threaded ring. These connectors are designed for demanding aerospace applications, supporting fire-resistant or non fire-resistant configurations and operating at temperatures ranging from -65 °C to 175 °C continuously, up to 260 °C peak.
This standard forms part 015 of the EN 2997 aerospace connector series, ensuring interchangeability, reliability, and safety in harsh aerospace environments. It complements related standards covering plugs, contacts, seals, and protective covers to provide a comprehensive product specification suite.
Key Topics
- Connector Type: Jam-nut mounted receptacles with integrated accessories in circular electrical connectors.
- Operating Temperatures: Continuous operation from -65 °C to 175 °C and 200 °C, peak operation up to 260 °C.
- Material and Finish:
- Aluminium alloys with cadmium or nickel plating.
- Passivated stainless steel for fire resistance.
- Mechanical Requirements:
- Thread specifications and tightening torque for jam-nuts.
- Detailed panel cut-out dimensions for mounting.
- Performance Classes:
- Multiple classes distinguished by housing material, fire resistance, salt mist resistance, and maximum operating temperatures.
- Contact Arrangements:
- Reference to EN 2997-002 for contacts.
- Compatibility with plug standards EN 2997-008 and EN 2997-016.
- Marking and Identification:
- Standardized marking including manufacturer, date code, type, and class for traceability.
Applications
EN 2997-015:2011 connectors are essential components in aerospace electrical systems where reliability under extreme thermal and mechanical stress is critical. Typical applications include:
