BS EN 3155 is a European Standard that discusses electrical contacts used in elements of connection in the aerospace industry. The purpose of BS EN 3155-047 is to ensure female electrical contacts are fit for use for the adequate electrical performance of applications in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 3155-047 is one of the parts of the BS EN 3155 series that specifies the required characteristics, tests and tooling applicable to female electrical contacts 047, type A, double crimping, class S, used in elements of connection according to EN 3155-002. BS EN 3155-047 shall be used together with EN 3155-001.
The associated male contact is defined in EN 3155-046.
BS EN 3155-047 on female electrical contacts for use in aerospace industry is useful for:
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance and durability are crucial.
BS EN 3155-047 assists you with the requirements of dimensions, tolerances, material, and plating requirements of female electrical contacts.
BS EN 3155-047 also provides you cable requirements for female electrical contacts for aerospace applications.
It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of female electrical contacts to adhere to if they supply their components for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
If you are a manufacturer of female electrical contacts used in the aerospace industry, compliance with these requirements can ensure your products meet the performance needs of the end-application.
By adopting BS EN 3155-047 you can demonstrate the reliability of female electrical contacts and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
