Overview
EN 2713-012:2022 - part of the Aerospace series - specifies the product characteristics for UV laser printable, single- and multicore silver-plated copper screened (spiral) and jacketed electrical cables intended for on‑board aircraft electrical systems. The standard covers the MNA (1 core), MNB (pair), MNC (3 cores) and MND (4 cores) cable family designed to operate between −55 °C and 200 °C. It also permits qualified compatible marking in accordance with EN 3838.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and construction
- Defines cable family (MNA, MNB, MNC, MND), cores (1–4), and requirements for twisted assemblies (2–4 cores) per EN 2235.
- Screen: silver-plated copper stranded spiral (material per EN 4434).
- Outer jacket requirements to meet Clause 5 characteristics.
- Performance and tests (from EN 3475 series)
- Electrical: ohmic resistance, continuity, voltage proof, insulation and surface resistance.
- Mechanical/thermal: accelerated ageing (230 ±5 °C), shrinkage/delamination, thermal shock (200 ±5 °C), bending, cold bend, tensile on conductors/strands.
- Fire/safety: flammability (extinguishing time ≤ 3 s), smoke density, toxicity.
- Marking and marking permanence: UV laser markability, contrast requirement (K ≥ 50 %), permanence tests per EN 3838.
- Electromagnetic screening: transfer impedance limits - Z ≤ 220 mΩ/m (DC to 100 kHz), ≤ 350 mΩ/m (up to 500 kHz), ≤ 500 mΩ/m (up to 1 MHz).
- Plating tests: continuity, adherence, thickness and solderability.
- Quality assurance and qualification
- Qualification recommended via established aerospace procedures (e.g. EN 9133 or equivalent) and documented test programs.
- Identification, marking, packaging and delivery lengths per EN 2713-002 and EN 2235.
Applications and practical value
- Use for aircraft on-board electrical systems where high temperature resistance, reliable screening, and permanent UV laser marking are required.
- Typical applications: signal and control wiring, shielded power distribution, and harness segments in airframes, engines and avionics bays exposed to −55 °C to 200 °C environments.
- Practical benefits: reliable EMC performance (spiral silver‑plated screen), durable laser-markable identification for traceability, and standardized test credentials for procurement and certification.
Who uses this standard
- Cable manufacturers and material suppliers
- Aircraft OEMs, wiring harness manufacturers and avionics integrators
- Procurement, quality and certification engineers in aerospace
- Test laboratories and qualification teams
