BS EN 3660-031 is a European Standard that defines a range of cable outlets, style K, straight, shielded, sealed for heat shrinkable boot, for use with memory metal rings under the following conditions.
Temperature range,
Associated electrical accessories: EN 3660-034 memory metal rings (for shield termination backshells).
These cable outlets are designed for the termination of the overall shielding braid or individual cable shields. They accommodate/permit the termination of heat shrinkable boots.
BS EN 3660-031 for cable outlet accessories applicable for:
Heat shrinkable boots are used in cable and wire management and are created from a material specifically designed to shrink to a predefined ratio to form a tight, seamless bond around wires and cables, helping protect the cable from corrosion and mechanical abuse while providing excellent electrical insulating properties.
Memory metals are rings made of a shape-memory alloy consisting of nickel and titanium and are designed to restrict water flow.
An electrical connector is a device that connects two active devices to transmit current or signals.
Cable outlet accessories are used with the circular and rectangular electrical connector and an optical connector for connecting, protecting, switching, lighting, heating, etc. They are made from materials that suit their intended purpose and are designed to provide safe use.
The guidelines given in BS EN 3660-031 helps you select the right connector and an outlet accessory for heat shrinkable boots and memory metal rings as they improve the production process if an electronic component fails. The failed component can be replaced when an electrical connector is installed.
As a design engineer, guidelines provided in BS EN 3660-031 helps you with the safe use of cable outlet accessories for heat shrinkable boots and memory metal rings. You have greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products and composing systems with components as well.
BS EN 3660-031 provides guidance on the characteristics, dimensions, materials, finish, and testing methods for cable outlet accessories. It is structured such that the necessary level of quality is achieved, consistently maintained, and the high reliability of the product assured. By adopting BS EN 3660-031, you can demonstrate the reliability of your products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
