BS EN 3660-064:2016

What is BS EN 3660-064 - Cable outlet, style K, straight, for heat shrinkable boot, shielded, sealed, self-locking about?   

EN 3660-064 has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN). 

BS EN 3660-064 defines a range of cable outlets, style K, straight, shielded, sealed, self-locking(anti-rotational) for heat shrinkable boot, and/or metallic band under the following conditions: 

The mating connectors are listed in EN 3660-002. 

Temperature range,  

Class F (N): − 65 °C to 200 °C 

Class K: − 65 °C to 200 °C 

Class KE: − 65 °C to 260 °C 

Class W: − 65 °C to 175 °C 

Class T: − 65 °C to 175 °C (Nickel PTFE plating) 

Class Z: − 65 °C to 175 °C (Zinc Nickel plating)

Associated electrical accessories: EN 3660-033 Metallic band (for shield termination). 

These cable outlets are designed for the termination of the overall shielding braid and/or individual cable shields. They accommodate/permit the termination of heat shrinkable boots. 

Note: Class N in EN 3660-001 cross-refers to class F in EN 3660-064. 

Who is BS EN 3660-064 - Cable outlet, style K, straight, for heat shrinkable boot, shielded, sealed, self-locking for?  

BS EN 3660-064 on cable outlet, style K, straight, for heat shrinkable boot, shielded, sealed, self-locking is useful for:  

• Electrical cables manufacturers
