Overview
EN 2591-415:2001 is a CEN/AECMA aerospace test-method standard that defines a repeatable procedure to verify that female contacts in electrical and optical connector elements are not damaged by the insertion of a test probe. It is intended for use together with EN 2591-100 (general test methods) and complements gauge and force checks in connector qualification and inspection.
Key topics and requirements
- Objective: Detect mechanical damage to female contacts caused by probe insertion.
- Specimen preparation: Contacts are mounted into inserts and locked to prevent rotation; any alternative fixturing must simulate the insert.
- Test probe design:
- Probe nominal diameter shall match the corresponding male contact diameter.
- Probe length (A) is normally 3/4 of the female contact depth (A1).
- Probe made of polished, hardened steel and fixed in a handle sized to apply the required bending moment.
- Applied bending moment: A constant bending moment is applied to the probe via the handle during the test (handle mass/length selected to achieve specified moment).
- Procedure:
- Fully insert the test probe into the female contact while the contact is held horizontally.
- Apply the constant bending moment and slowly rotate the insert 360° about the contact axis so the moment is applied uniformly around the internal surface.
- Repeat the operation with the probe inserted to a depth of 2/3 A.
- Sampling (per table in the standard):
- 1–5 contacts: 100% tested
- 6–60 contacts: 50% tested (minimum 6 specimens)
- 61–130 contacts: 25% tested (minimum 31 specimens)
- 131+ contacts: 10% tested (minimum 34 specimens)
- Final measurements and acceptance: Where applicable, final dimensional or contact condition checks are performed (refer to EN 2591-418 for gauge insertion/extraction force measurement procedures).
Applications and users
- Aerospace manufacturers and suppliers for connector qualification and incoming inspection.
- Test laboratories performing mechanical integrity and durability checks on connector contacts.
- Quality assurance and procurement teams to ensure connector batches meet mechanical handling criteria.
- Design and R&D engineers verifying contact robustness against test probes, maintenance tools, and diagnostic jigs.
- Maintenance and overhaul organizations confirming reworked or serviced connectors remain undamaged.
