Overview
EN 2240-048:2010 is a CEN European product standard in the Aerospace series that defines the required characteristics for lamp, code 718 NPC - an incandescent aerospace lamp with a nickel-plated contact. The standard applies to lamp manufacturing, procurement and testing for aviation systems and is intended to be used together with EN 2756 (test methods).
Key topics and requirements
- Electrical and optical characteristics: nominal voltage 5 V, nominal current 0.115 A, nominal power 0.575 W, nominal luminous flux 1.9 lm, colour temperature ~1 980 K (values as specified in the standard).
- Service life: static life with d.c. 4 000 h, dynamic life with d.c. 3 000 h, static life with a.c. 4 000 h.
- Mechanical and dimensional data: dimensions are given in millimetres; Light Centre Length (LCL) = 4.8 ± 0.5 mm; overall mass (for 1 000 units) 0.24 kg. Detailed geometry and bulb appearance are specified in the standard figures and tables.
- Filament form and cap: filament forms reference EN 2240-002 (e.g., C - 2R CC - 6), cap designation SX4s/4 per EN 2241.
- Material/contact finish: nickel-plated contact requirement specified for compatibility and corrosion resistance in aerospace environments.
- Designation and marking: prescriptive format for product designation (example: LAMP, INCANDESCENT / EN2240-718NPC) and mandatory marking of the international code number on lamp and packaging where space permits.
- Normative references: the standard is to be applied together with EN 2240-001 (technical specification), EN 2240-002 (main characteristics), EN 2241 (lamp caps), and EN 2756 (test methods).
Applications and users
- Applications: cockpit indicators, instrument-panel lamps, avionics indicators, marker and status lamps in aircraft and aerospace systems where a small-volume incandescent lamp with nickel-plated contact is required.
- Primary users:
- Aerospace OEMs and suppliers specifying components
- Lamp manufacturers and component designers
- Aircraft maintenance organizations and procurement teams
- Test laboratories and certification bodies applying EN 2756 test methods
- Quality and regulatory compliance personnel ensuring European standard conformity
