What is BS EN 3475-509- Test methods for solderability about?
This standard specifies a method of assessing the solderability of conductors and screens or strands taken from them. It shall be used together with EN 3475-100.
BS EN 3475-509 has been prepared by the European Association of Aerospace Manufacturers (AECMA). BS EN 3475-509 covers the preparation of specimens, apparatus, requirements, and method of assessing the solderability of conductors.
Who is BS EN 3475-509 - Test methods for solderability for?
BS EN 3475-509 on test methods for solderability is useful for:
- Electric cables inspectors
- Aircraft products manufacturers
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of aircraft products
- Quality control personnel for aircraft products
- Aeronautical engineers
- Aeronautical researchers
Why should you use BS EN 3475-509 - Test methods for solderability?
Aircraft electrical cables sustain intense vibration during take-off, flight, and landing, while also being subject to harsh environmental conditions. Cable faults cost money and create disruption, so there is an enormous demand for cable test techniques to ensure cables and joints are in good condition.
BS EN 3475-509 provides best practice guidelines on the test methods for measuring the plating thickness and centricity of metallic coatings on single conductors in aircraft systems. BS EN 3475-509 helps enhance the product quality and end-user satisfaction. By adopting BS EN 3475-509, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
The guidelines in BS EN 3475-509, ensure the efficiency of aircraft systems, thereby preventing damage and danger to aircraft cables during use.
