What is BS EN 3567-004 - Double in-line couplers for multiplex data bus systems about?
BS EN 3567 is a European Standard on aerospace series that discuss in-line couplers for use in multiplex data bus systems. The main aim of BS EN 3567 is to provide the best quality in-line couplers ensuring reliability and forming a seamless connection between the two cables.
BS EN 3567-004 is the fourth part of the BS EN 3567 series that specifies the required characteristics and performance requirements for double in-line couplers for use in multiplex data bus systems in accordance with MIL-STD-1553B.
BS EN 3567-004 shall be used together with EN 3567-001.
Who is BS EN 3567-004 - Double in-line couplers for multiplex data bus systems for?
BS EN 3567-004:2001 on double in-line couplers for multiplex data bus systems is useful for:
- The aerospace and defence industry
- Manufacturers and suppliers of aerospace components
- Designers of double in-line couplers
- Product design engineers
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of aerospace products
- Aeronautical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 3567-004 - Double in-line couplers for multiplex data bus systems?
An inline coupler connects to one end of a cable and allows the same type of cable to be plugged into its other side, forming a seamless connection between the two. It's the ideal way to lengthen a cable run. Otherwise, you’d have to cut the connectors off of each cable and splice the two cables together.
In this regard, BS EN 3567-004 provides the description of double in-line couplers and guidelines on the dimensions, electrical diagram and mass as well as the insulation resistance test, Voltage proof test and Surface transfer impedance test on couplers.
BS EN 3567-004 covers the quality assurance criteria, designation, marking, packaging, delivery conditions and storage of double in-line couplers to enhance the performance of the product.
As a result, if you are a manufacturer of in-line couplers, adhering to BS EN 3567-004 can help you improve coupler efficacy and provide a standardized product.
