Overview
EN 61300-3-22:2011 (identical to IEC 61300-3-22:2010) specifies a standardized procedure to measure the ferrule compression force (spring-loaded force) applied when fibre optic connector plugs mate under normal service. The standard applies to connector plugs that incorporate a spring-loaded ferrule and defines the apparatus, measurement procedure and the details that must be specified in test and product documentation. This edition updates the 1997 version by reconsidering the procedure and the details to be specified.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Measurement of the ferrule spring force for spring-loaded ferrule type connectors.
- Required apparatus:
- Fixed clamping device to hold the device under test (DUT) without altering mechanical properties.
- Force generator (e.g., compression tester) to apply axial compressive load smoothly.
- Position sensor to measure ferrule end-face displacement.
- Force gauge to record compressive force at the ferrule end face.
- Test procedure (summary):
- Use a fully assembled DUT prepared per manufacturer instructions.
- Clamp the DUT in the fixed clamping device.
- Apply axial compressive load at 5 mm/min until the ferrule end face reaches the specified position.
- Measure the spring force at the specified ferrule end-face position.
- Details to be specified in the detail specification:
- Performance requirements referenced to IEC 61754 series (mechanical interfaces).
- Exact ferrule end-face position relative to the connector reference plane (example: LSH connectors measured at M = 11.9 mm and 12.0 mm).
- Required spring force at specified positions.
- Any deviations from the standard procedure.
- Type of cable or fibre fitted to the connector (buffered or primary coated).
Applications and who uses this standard
- Connector manufacturers: to validate and control ferrule spring characteristics during development and production.
- Test laboratories and quality assurance teams: to perform repeatable, comparable measurements of ferrule compression force.
- Design engineers: to ensure mechanical interface compliance and predictable mating behavior.
- Procurement and compliance specialists: to verify that supplied connectors meet mechanical interface and spring-force requirements for reliable optical performance.
