Overview
EN 2591-213:1997 is a standard developed by CEN for the aerospace industry, specifically addressing the performance and testing of electrical and optical connection elements. This section of the EN 2591 series outlines the standardized method for measuring shielding effectiveness from 100 MHz to 1 GHz for connector elements equipped with screen clamping back-shells. Shielding effectiveness is crucial in minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) in aerospace electrical systems, ensuring signal integrity and system reliability.
The standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 2591, which covers general test methods for aerospace connectors.
Key Topics
Shielding Effectiveness Measurement
Defines procedures to assess how well a connector's construction attenuates electromagnetic signals in the 100 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range.Applicability to Screen Clamping Back-shells
Focuses on connector elements fitted with specific back-shells used to clamp shielding screens, an essential feature for EMI protection in aerospace applications.Test Method Integration
This part is part of the comprehensive EN 2591 test method series, ensuring uniformity and repeatability across various test procedures for aerospace connectivity.Frequency Range Relevance
Covers a critical frequency range (100 MHz - 1 GHz), encompassing many sources of electromagnetic interference pertinent in aerospace electronics.
Applications
EN 2591-213:1997 is highly relevant for manufacturers, suppliers, and testing laboratories involved in aerospace connector technologies. Key practical applications include:
Aerospace Equipment Validation
Ensures that electrical and optical connectors meet stringent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements, supporting safe and reliable aircraft operation.Product Development and Quality Control
Provides a reference method for R&D and production teams assessing the performance of screened connectors to meet regulatory and client expectations.Supply Chain Compliance
Helps suppliers demonstrate compliance with international standards for aerospace electrical interconnection systems, a prerequisite for many procurement processes.Laboratory Testing
Used by test houses for qualification and certification of connector assemblies, guaranteeing consistency in shielding effectiveness assessments.
