What is BS EN 3155-060 - Male coaxial electrical contacts for aerospace applications about?
BS EN 3155 is a European Standard that discusses electrical contacts used in elements of connection used in the aerospace industry. The purpose of BS EN 3155-060 is to provide the best industry product standards for male electrical contacts such that they are fit for the intended end-application use.
BS EN 3155-060 is one of the parts of the BS EN 3155 series that specifies the required characteristics, tests and tooling applicable to size 12, male coaxial, electrical contacts, type D, solder, class R, used in elements of connection according to BS EN 3155-002. BS EN 3155-060 shall be used together with BS EN 3155-001. The associated male contacts are defined in BS EN 3155-061.
The contacts defined by BS EN 3155-060 are derived from those of MIL-C-39029/28 and are intermateable with those of MIL-C-39029/27 and MIL-C-39029/75.

Why should you use BS EN 3155-060 - Male coaxial electrical contacts for aerospace applications?
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance and durability are crucial.
BS EN 3155-060 guides you through dimensions and tolerances, along with appropriate, materials, protective coatings, surface treatment and heat shrinkable tubing to be considered for male coaxial electrical contacts used in the aerospace industry.
Assembly instructions, tooling and three possible scenarios of preparing coaxial cables are also discussed.
If you are a manufacturer of male coaxial electrical contacts used in the aerospace industry, compliance with these requirements can ensure your products meet the performance needs of the end-application.
BS EN 3155-060 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical contacts to adhere to if they supply their components for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
Moreover, you can evaluate the performance of male coaxial electrical contacts with the recommended reference standard for tests. As a result, you can determine whether your products are capable of withstanding high voltages, fluctuating temperatures, corrosion, and vibrations, without causing failures.
With compliance to BS EN 3155-060 you can demonstrate the reliability of male coaxial electrical contacts and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
