What is BS EN 3733-007 - Ferrules for aerospace applications about?
BS EN 3733-007 is a standard that covers ferrules for aerospace applications, ensuring superior mechanical strength and protection against damage in aerospace applications
BS EN 3733-007 specifies the characteristics of ferrules (optical contacts) for aerospace series, that is a single-core optical fibre as incorporated in EN 4532 and operating temperature up to 150 °C.
Connector interface dimensions, table of tests and qualification approval requirements, are contained in the Technical Specification of EN 3733-001.
Who is BS EN 3733-007 - Ferrules for aerospace applications for?
BS EN 3733-007 on ferrules for aerospace applications applies to:
- Manufacturers of optical contacts for aerospace applications
- Dealers and importers of optical contacts for aerospace applications
- Quality assurance services
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 3733-007 - Ferrules for aerospace applications?
In aerospace applications, the casing is attached to the mounting points by ferrules. Ferrules are usually made of metal or plastic and contain mounting mechanisms that allow them to attach to a matching surface securely. The casing is supported axially and torsionally by ferrules.
BS EN 3733-007 provides users guidance on required characteristics for ferrules, including dimensions, mass, materials and application combinations, enabling users to standardize the dimensional properties of ferrules for compatibility in aerospace applications.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 3733-007, users can develop and assess ferrules to ensure stable operability, thermal resistance and performance in high temperatures in aerospace applications.
