Overview
EN 2591-304:1997 - "Aerospace series - Elements of electrical and optical connection - Test methods - Part 304: Damp heat steady state" (adopted as SIST EN 2591-304:2001) is a CEN standard that specifies a method to assess the ability of electrical and optical connection elements to be stored and to function under steady-state damp heat. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the general EN 2591 series test methods and forms part of the aerospace qualification toolkit for connectors and interconnect components.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Defines the intended use for elements of electrical and optical connection within aerospace equipment where long-term exposure to humid environments is a concern.
- Test purpose: Provides a method to evaluate whether connectors and related components retain storage integrity and operational function after exposure to steady-state damp heat.
- Test relationships: Designed to be used together with the broader EN 2591 family (general test rules and complementary parts).
- Standard adoption: Recognized and published within national bodies (e.g., SIST EN 2591-304:2001), reflecting European harmonization for aerospace connector testing.
Note: EN 2591-304:1997 defines the test method framework. For procedural details, conditioning steps, acceptance criteria and measurement methods, refer to the associated EN 2591 parts and the full text of this part.
Applications
- Aerospace manufacturers and system integrators evaluating the environmental robustness of electrical and optical connectors.
- Supplier qualification and component acceptance testing for aircraft, spacecraft and airborne systems operating in humid climates.
- Environmental and qualification test laboratories that conduct standard-compliant connector tests.
- Quality assurance and reliability engineers establishing test plans for interconnects subject to damp environments.
Using EN 2591-304 helps organizations demonstrate that connector elements can be safely stored and will continue to function after exposure to damp heat, supporting product reliability, safety and regulatory compliance.
Related Standards
- EN 2591 (other parts) - general methods and complementary test procedures for elements of electrical and optical connection.
- National adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 2591-304:2001) - indicate harmonized use across member countries.
