BS EN 4611-004:2018

What is BS EN 4611-004 - Tin-plated cables about ?  

BS EN 4611‑004 specifies the characteristics of UV laser printable, tin-plated conductor electrical cables Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene copolymer (XLETFE) family for use in the onboard electrical systems of aircraft operating at temperatures between – 65 °C and 135 °C. The voltage rating is 600 V rms at sea level. This insulation system has been used in aerospace applications using 115 V (phase to- neutral) 400 Hz and 28 Vdc.  

Who is BS EN 4611-004 - Tin-plated cables for ? 

BS EN 4611‑004 on tin-plated conductor electrical cables (Dual extruded wall for open applications) for aerospace applications is applicable to: 

• Manufacturers of tin-plated conductor electrical cables 
• Aircraft manufacturers 
• Manufacturers of aircraft and aerospace equipment 
• Quality control/testing and compliance personnel for aerospace 
• Spacecraft and space products manufacturers 
• Aerospace and defense industries  
• Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products 

Why should you use BS EN 4611-004 - Tin-plated cables ?  

Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene copolymer (XLETFE) greatly improves the high and low-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, wear resistance of the cable, and tensile strength of the whole body of the cable. BS EN 4611‑004 contains characteristics of tin-plated conductor electrical cables (XLETFE) and provides essential guidance on using the electrical systems of aircraft. 

As a quality control personnel, you can use BS EN 4611-004 in the inspection of surface, fire, humidity, and overload resistance. Thus BS EN 4611-004 benefits you in ease of production and guarantees the machining accuracy of the cable.
