BS EN 3155‑009 discusses the electrical contacts and the elements used in the connection of the contacts.
BS EN 3155‑009 specifies the required characteristics, tests, and tools applicable to female electrical contacts 009, type A, crimp, class S, used in elements of connection according to EN 3155-002.
BS EN 3155‑009 shall be used together with EN 3155-001. The associated male contacts are defined in EN 3155-008.
BS EN 3155‑009 on electrical contacts used in elements of connection is useful for:
Electrical contact is a switch that uses a secondary, low-voltage power source to complete or interrupt circuits that affect an electrical current. Electrical contacts, connectors, and connections are very important components in assuring performance and safety.
BS EN 3155‑009 provides guidance on the characteristics, dimensions, mass, markings of colour code, and the materials for surface treatments for the manufacturers and installers to ensure the quality and safety of female, type A, class S electrical contacts.
Making the proper connections to the electrical contacts will help keep the electricity flowing trouble-free. Electrical contact or connection failure can spell disaster for the facility or appliance’s operations.
BS EN 3155‑009 also provides guidance for maintaining well-functioning electrical contacts, as it is also an important element to ensure the performance and safety of your electronic equipment and components.
