BS EN 3155-018:2020

What is BS EN 3155‑018 about?  

BS EN 3155 discusses standards for electrical contacts for aerospace series. 

BS EN 3155‑018 focuses on male electrical contacts. 

BS EN 3155‑018 is part-18 of a series of documents that specifies the required characteristics and tests and tooling applicable to male electrical contacts 018, type A, crimp, class S, used in elements of connection for aerospace applications. 

Who is BS EN 3155‑018 for? 

BS EN 3155‑018 on male electrical contacts for aerospace is applicable to: 

• Aerospace electric equipment manufacturers 
• Testing agencies involved in aerospace products testing  
• Aerospace and defence industries 
• Manufacturers of electrical connectors 
• Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology. 
• Design engineers for electrical contacts of aerospace series 

Why should you use BS EN 3155‑018? 

BS EN 3155‑018 assists aerospace industries as well as testing agencies in making and testing aerospace products with respect to standardized dimensions, surface treatment, and alloy. 

BS EN 3155‑018 covers all the requirements for male electrical contacts 018, type A, crimp, class S. It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical connectors to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials for use by the aerospace and defence industry. 

You will be able to manufacture male electrical contacts that are safe to use, following the dimensional guidelines provided in BS EN 3155‑018. You will also lengthen the lifespan of your aircraft with BS EN 3155‑018 guidelines. This will also ensure the prevention of waste.
