What is BS EN 4611‑003 - Tin plated copper about ?
BS EN 4611‑003 specifies the characteristics of UV laser printable, tin-plated copper conductor electrical cables Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene copolymer (XLETFE) family for use in the onboard electrical systems of aircraft operating at temperatures between – 65 °C and 135 °C. The voltage rating is 600 V rms at sea level. This insulation system has been used in aerospace applications using 115 Vac (phase-to-neutral) 400 Hz and 28 Vdc.
Who is BS EN 4611‑003 - Tin plated copper for ?
BS EN 4611‑003 on tin-plated conductor electrical cables (Single extruded wall for enclosed applications) for aerospace applications is applicable to:
- Manufacturers of tin-plated conductor electrical cables
- Aircraft manufacturers
- Quality control/testing and compliance personnel for aerospace
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products
Why should you use BS EN 4611‑003 - Tin plated copper ?
Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene copolymer (XLETFE) greatly improves the high and low-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, wear resistance of the cable, and tensile strength of the whole body of the cable. BS EN 4611-003 contains characteristics of tin-plated conductor electrical cables (XLETFE) and provides essential guidance on using the electrical systems of aircraft.
As a quality control personnel, you can use BS EN 4611-003 in the inspection of surface, fire, humidity, and overload resistance. Thus BS EN 4611‑003 benefits you in ease of production and guarantees the machining accuracy of the cable.
