BS EN 3708 is a European Standard series that discusses modular interconnection systems used in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 3708-001 is the first part of the BS EN 3708 series that specifies the general characteristics of terminal junction systems for modular interconnection systems as well as test conditions, test programme and groups for quality assurance.
The purpose of BS EN 3708-001 is to ensure terminal junction systems play a positive role in the performance of aerospace applications.
BS EN 3708-001 applies to products specially adapted to provide connections within a very reduced space for variable extendable, divisible, transformable, and interchangeable combinations of equipment within a temperature range from − 55 °C to 175 °C, and for altitudes up to 21 000 m for sealed modules or up to 13 700 m for unsealed modules. The conditions of use shall be in accordance with BS EN 2282.
BS EN 3708-001 also applies to interconnections incorporating components.
BS EN 3708-001 on terminal junction systems for aerospace applications is useful for:
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance, and durability are crucial.
BS EN 3708-001 guides you through design requirements for terminal junction systems.
BS EN 3708-001 also recommends test methods to demonstrate the performance, quality and reliability of terminal junction systems for use in the aerospace industry.
Guidance on quality assurance can help manufacturers demonstrate at all times that the product conforms to general production specifications and to the product standard.
If you are a manufacturer of terminal junction systems for aerospace applications, adopting BS EN 3708-001 can be particularly beneficial for quality control purposes to demonstrate reliability of terminal junction systems and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
