BS 2G 223 is a standard that discusses devices used in aerospace applications.
BS 2G 223 specifies the requirements for the design and testing of insulated and uninsulated screen terminating devices for general purpose screened electrical cables or wires for aircraft in the temperature ranges defined in the relevant cable specifications.
The devices are intended for the purpose of pigtailing the cable screen where a low resistance
path to earth or linking of screens is required, or for the purpose of dead-ending.
The devices are not intended for use on radio frequency (R.F.) cables.
The types of screens in common use are as follows:
Where the design of the device excludes its use on a particular type or types of screen this will be declared.
BS 2G 223 on requirements for screen terminating devices is useful for:
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance, and durability are crucial.
BS 2G 223 provides you with best industry design requirements along with guidance on various tests such as fluid resistance test, voltage proof test, low-temperature crimping test, conductor insulation voltage test, immersion test, that determine whether your screen terminating devices are fit for purpose.
As a result, you can ensure your products play a positive role in the performance and functional efficiency of screened electrical cables or wires.
If you are a manufacturer of screen terminating devices used in the aerospace industry, compliance with the tests can ensure your products meet the performance needs of the end-application.
Thus, with compliance to BS 2G 223, you can demonstrate the reliability of the screen terminating devices and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
