Overview
EN 2591-323:1998 (CEN) is part of the Aerospace series for elements of electrical and optical connection. This standard specifies a test method for thermal shock aimed at verifying the ability of hermetic electrical and optical connector elements to withstand rapid temperature changes. EN 2591-323 is intended to be used together with the general requirements and additional parts of EN 2591.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Verifies resistance of hermetic elements of connection to thermal shock; applies to both electrical and optical connection elements in aerospace applications.
- Test purpose: Demonstrates that sealed (hermetic) connectors maintain integrity and functionality after exposure to rapid thermal cycling.
- Sample conditioning and preparation: The standard defines how test specimens should be prepared and handled before testing (used alongside EN 2591).
- Test execution: Specifies a reproducible method for applying thermal shock to connector samples to evaluate mechanical, electrical and sealing performance under thermal stress.
- Performance assessment: Focuses on detecting degradation of hermeticity and connector performance after thermal shock exposure; pass/fail criteria are applied based on retained functionality and sealing.
- Test documentation: Requires recording test conditions, observations and results to support qualification and traceability.
Note: EN 2591-323 defines the thermal shock method and is to be used in conjunction with the rest of EN 2591 for complete test and acceptance criteria.
Applications
- Connector qualification: Used by manufacturers to qualify hermetic electrical and optical connectors for aerospace platforms.
- Design verification: Engineers use the test method during development to validate materials, seals and assembly processes against rapid temperature changes.
- Quality assurance and production: Helps production and QA teams verify batch conformity and detect manufacturing defects that affect hermetic sealing or connector reliability.
- Supplier assessment and procurement: Aerospace OEMs and procurement engineers reference EN 2591-323 in contracts and specifications to ensure components meet thermal shock requirements.
- Independent test laboratories: Environmental test labs apply the standard to deliver accredited thermal shock testing services for aerospace connectors.
Related standards
- EN 2591 (other parts) - general requirements and supplementary test methods for aerospace connection elements.
- Common practice: EN 2591-323 is typically used alongside broader environmental and reliability standards when specifying connector qualification.
