Aerospaces series - Elements of electrical and optical connection - Test Methods - Part 211: Capacitance

This standard specifies a method for measuring the capacitance between two adjacent, or coaxial conductors, or between a conductor and ground as applies to connectors and contacts.
It shall be used together with EN 2591-100.

Luft- und Raumfahrt - Elektrische und optische Verbindungselemente - Prüfverfahren - Teil 211: Kapazität

Diese Norm legt ein Verfahren zum Messen der Kapazität zwischen zwei benachbarten Leitern oder Koaxialleitern oder zwischen einem Leiter und Masse fest, wie dies bei Steckverbindern und Kontakten der Fall ist.
Sie ist in Verbindung mit EN 2591-100 anzuwenden.

Overview

EN 2591-211:2002 is a CEN European Standard (prepared by AECMA) that defines a standardized test method for measuring capacitance in aerospace electrical and optical connection elements. The standard covers measurement of capacitance between two adjacent or coaxial conductors, or between a conductor and ground, as applies to connectors and contacts. EN 2591-211 is intended to be used together with EN 2591-100 (general test method rules).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Measurement of capacitance for connectors and contacts (adjacent/coaxial conductors or conductor-to-ground).
  • Specimen preparation: Tests may be performed with mated or unmated connectors; contacts may be measured assembled or unassembled as specified in the relevant product standard.
  • Details to specify: test frequency, temperature, measurement accuracy limits, AC voltage magnitude (r.m.s.), mating condition, assembly condition, maximum permitted capacitance, and any deviations from the method.
  • Apparatus: Use a capacitance bridge or suitable alternative. Measurement equipment must have an inherent accuracy of ±0.5 % at 0.2 pF.
  • Test conditions:
    • Ambient temperature: 20 °C (or as specified).
    • Preferred test frequencies: 1 kHz, 100 kHz, 1 MHz and 3 MHz.
    • Use measurement techniques that minimize errors from connections between apparatus and specimen.
    • Keep the alternating current (AC) voltage across the specimen as low as practicable.
  • Requirement: Measured capacitance shall not exceed limits specified in the applicable product standard.

Applications and users

  • Who uses it:
    • Aerospace connector designers and manufacturers
    • Test laboratories and quality assurance teams
    • Systems engineers concerned with connector electrical performance
    • Procurement and compliance engineers validating connector specifications
  • Practical uses:
    • Characterizing connector capacitance for design validation and acceptance testing
    • Ensuring connector performance against product-specific capacitance limits
    • Supporting signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) assessments where connector capacitance is a factor
    • Providing repeatable, comparable measurement data across suppliers and test labs
