What is BS EN 3155-031 - Female 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 main objective of the BS EN 3155 series is to ensure electrical contacts used by the aerospace industry meet the performance requirements of the end-application.
BS EN 3155-031 is one of the parts of the BS EN 3155 series that specifies the required characteristics, tests and tooling applicable to female electrical coaxial contacts, shielded, size 12, type D, crimp, class R, used in elements of connection according to BS EN 3155-002. BS EN 3155-031 shall be used together with BS EN 3155-001.
The associated male contacts are defined in BS EN 3155-030 and BS EN 3155-040.
The contacts defined by BS EN 3155-031 are derived from those of MIL-C-39029/73, and intermateable with those of MIL-C-39029/74.
Who is BS EN 3155-031 - Female electrical contacts for aerospace applications for?
BS EN 3155-031 on female electrical contacts for aerospace applications is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of female electrical contacts for aerospace
- Manufacturers of aerospace electric equipment and components
- The aerospace and defence industry
- Product design engineers
- National authorities
- Regulatory bodies
- Certification bodies
Why should you use BS EN 3155-031 - Female 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 3155-031 provides product characteristics such as dimensions and mass, along with guidance on the right materials, surface treatment, and tooling to be considered for female electrical contacts used for aerospace applications.
If you are a manufacturer of female 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 3155-031 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of female 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 female electrical contacts with the recommended 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 3155-031, you can demonstrate the reliability of female electrical contacts and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
