The ability to withstand extreme temperatures is vital for aerospace components, including electrical fittings. BS EN 2997-008 is a European Standard that discusses the specification for electrical and optical connectors for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2997-008 is part of the BS EN 2997 series and specifies the characteristics of plugs in the family of circular electrical connectors coupled by a threaded ring. BS EN 2997-008 applies to the class defined in Table 2. For contacts, filler plugs and rear accessories associated with this plug, see EN 2997-002. For receptacles and protective covers, see EN 2997-003 to EN 2997-007 and EN 2997-010 respectively.
BS EN 2997-008 on threaded ring electrical connectors for aerospace is useful for:
Aerospace components need to meet the highest quality standards to endure the harsh conditions that they are subjected to. BS EN 2997-008 provides you with the specification for threaded ring electrical circular connectors with details such as designation, marking and technical specifications. BS EN 2997-008 also guides you with material and surface treatment, general characteristics and possible combinations of plugs and receptacles with illustrations and tables.
Using BS EN 2997-008 guidelines contributes to simple operation, short installation time and low power consumption for aerospace applications. BS EN 2997-008 guidelines help you to design and manufacture or source high-quality cables that can withstand a variety of temperatures and are long-lasting.
BS EN 2997-008 ensures the reliability of aerospace equipment. This contributes to the safety of those on board.
