BS EN 2997-006 is a European Standard specifies the characteristics of hermetic jam-nut mounted receptacles in the family of circular electrical connectors coupled by threaded ring.
It applies to the class defined in Table 4.
For plug and protective covers, EN 2997-008 and EN 2997-009, respectively. For spare jam nut and O-rings, see EN 2997-012 and EN 2997-013, respectively.
BS EN 2997-006 on hermetic receptacles is applicable for:
Hermetic receptacles are high sealing and space-saving and environment friendly as there is no lead content in it.
The guidelines given in BS EN 2997-006 helps you select the right receptacles as well as a connector as they improve the production process. If an electronic component fails, the failed component can be replaced when an electrical connector is installed.
As a design engineer, you can use the guidelines provided in BS EN 2997-006 to improve functioning and use of electrical connectors and receptacles. You also get greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products and composing systems with components as well.
BS EN 2997-006 is structured such that the necessary level of quality is achieved, consistently maintained, and the high reliability of the product assured. By adopting BS EN 2997-006, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
