Overview

EN 2591-709:2001 is a CEN/AECMA aerospace standard that defines a test method for assessing the tensile strength of couplers used in electrical (and optical) connection systems. The standard specifies how to check coupler performance under combined mechanical and thermal stress and is intended to verify axial-load integrity of electrical elements in aerospace environments. It is to be used together with EN 2591-100 (general test provisions).

Keywords: EN 2591-709, tensile strength of couplers, aerospace connectors, electrical elements, test methods, mechanical and thermal stress.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Method for checking tensile strength of couplers under mechanical and thermal stress; applies to components conforming to the relevant product standard.
  • Specimen preparation
    • Test a component that complies with the product standard.
    • Adjust cable length to suit measuring equipment.
    • Unless otherwise specified, report minimum/maximum test temperatures and the applied force.
  • Test setup
    • Each bus or stub is tested individually.
    • Specimens must be fixtured so applied force is along the longitudinal axis of the connection.
    • Ensure the coupler case is not squeezed; axial force should be the only significant stress.
  • Procedure
    • Condition specimens at each test temperature for 15 minutes before loading.
    • Apply axial force continuously on the cable until the value specified in the product standard is reached.
    • The rate of force application shall not exceed 45 N/s.
    • Maintain the specified force for 2 minutes while at the test temperature.
  • Requirements
    • Meet electrical continuity requirements as referenced in EN 2591-205 (Housing (shell) electrical continuity).
    • Force at rated temperatures must match values specified in the applicable product specification.

Practical applications

  • Qualification testing of aerospace electrical couplers and connector assemblies.
  • Supplier acceptance and batch verification of couplers used on aircraft and spacecraft.
  • Design verification for connector engineers assessing axial pull-out and mechanical robustness.
  • Test laboratories performing standardized tensile testing for certification, maintenance, and quality assurance.
  • Procurement and quality teams ensuring components meet specified mechanical and thermal load requirements.

Related standards

  • EN 2591-100 - General test methods for elements of electrical and optical connection (must be used together with Part 709).
  • EN 2591-205 - Housing (shell) electrical continuity (referred to for continuity checks).
  • AECMA prestandards and other parts of the EN 2591 series covering connector test methods.

This standard is essential for anyone involved in aerospace connector design, testing, procurement, or certification who needs a harmonized method to verify coupler tensile strength under combined mechanical and thermal conditions.
