What is BS EN 3155-063 - Male electrical coaxial contacts about?
BS EN 3155 is a European standard on electrical contacts used for elements of connection.
BS EN 3155-063 provides the required characteristics, tests and tooling applicable to male electrical coaxial contacts, size 1, type D, class R used in elements of connection according to EN 3155-002.
BS EN 3155-063 is intended to be used with BS EN 3155-001. The associated female contacts are defined in EN 3155-064.
Who is BS EN 3155-063 - Male electrical coaxial contacts for?
BS EN 3155-063 on male electrical contacts for aerospace is applicable to:
- Design engineers for electrical contacts
- Aerospace electric equipment manufacturers
- Quality control personnel for electrical contacts
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Electrical coaxial contacts manufacturers
- Testing agencies
Why should you use BS EN 3155-063 - Male electrical coaxial contacts?
A male contact is commonly referred to as a plug and has a solid pin for a center conductor.
Coaxial contacts provide shielding protection within a connector and can also protect the circuity of the RF performance.
Type D connectors are electrical connectors with two or more parallel rows of pins or sockets surrounded by a D-shaped metal shield that screens against some electromagnetic interference, provides mechanical support, and ensures correct orientation.
BS EN 3155-063 assists aerospace industries as well as testing agencies in manufacturing and testing aerospace products with respect to their proper dimensions, colour code, tensile strength, and alloy.
BS EN 3155-063 assist design engineers in designing electrical contacts as per specifications and enhances the reliability of their product.
BS EN 3155-063 covers all the requirements for male electrical contacts. It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical connectors if they supply their metallic materials to the aerospace and defence industry.
By adopting BS EN 3155-063, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their male electrical coaxial contacts with size 1, 50 ohms, type D, crimp, class R, and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
