What is BS EN 3155-001 - Electrical contacts used in elements of connection about?
BS EN 3155-001 specifies:
- The electrical, mechanical, environmental, and dimensional characteristics of electrical contacts used in elements of connection, including coaxial, triaxial, and quadrax contacts
- The conditions for qualification, acceptance testing, and quality assurance
- The test programs and groups
BS EN 3155-001 is applicable to removable crimp contacts, wrap contacts, solder contacts used in connectors or in other elements of electrical connection. In case of conflict or missing information between the EN 3155-001 and the product standards, the product standard shall govern.
Who is BS EN 3155-001 - Electrical contacts used in elements of connection for?
BS EN 3155-001 on electrical contacts used in elements of connection is useful for:
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Design engineers for electrical contacts
- Aerospace electric equipment manufacturers
- Quality control personnel for electrical contacts
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Manufacturers of electrical contacts
Why should you use BS EN 3155-001 - Electrical contacts used in elements of connection?
BS EN 3155-001 covers male and female contacts of all types and technologies: cylindrical or rectangular entry contacts, flat contacts of the blade type, etc., stamped, formed, or machined contacts. BS EN 3155-001 assists aerospace industries as well as testing agencies in making and testing aerospace products with respect to their dimension, mass, designation, and markings.
By adopting BS EN 3155-001, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their electrical contacts and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain. BS EN 3155-001 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical connectors if they supply their metallic materials to the aerospace industry.
BS EN 3155-001 helps design engineers in designing electrical contacts as per specifications and enhances the reliability of their products.
