Overview
EN 2267-003:2005 is a European aerospace standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) to specify the characteristics of electrical cables used in aircraft. This standard focuses on ink jet printable electrical cables designed for general-purpose aerospace applications, with operational temperature capabilities ranging from -55 °C up to 260 °C. The cables covered under this standard are intended for on-board electrical systems in aircraft and must also be compatible with hot stamp printing markings per EN 3838.
This standard is part of the broader EN 2267 series, which addresses electrical cables used in aerospace for demanding environmental and operational conditions. Compliance with EN 2267-003:2005 ensures that aerospace cables meet stringent quality, material, and performance requirements, essential for safety and reliability in aviation electrical systems.
Key Topics
Materials and Construction
The standard mandates specific conductor and insulation materials to withstand extreme temperatures and mechanical stresses:- Conductors comply with EN 2083 standards for copper or copper alloys.
- Insulation involves multiple layers including polyimide and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), providing excellent thermal and chemical durability.
- Layer winding angles and coating thicknesses are carefully defined to maximize performance.
Operating Temperature Range
Cables must reliably function between -55 °C and 260 °C, covering both extreme cold and high-temperature environments typical in aerospace settings.Printing and Marking
EN 2267-003 requires cables to be ink jet printable for clear, durable identification and traceability. In addition, hot stamp printing is permitted, with marks conforming to EN 3838 standards for clarity and permanence.Performance and Test Methods
The standard references EN 3475-100 for a suite of tests including:- Electrical resistance and insulation.
- Thermal ageing and shock resistance.
- Mechanical properties like bend radius, tensile strength, and abrasion resistance.
- Flammability and smoke/toxicity tests ensuring safety compliance.
- Quality assurance aligned with aerospace quality management procedures (EN 9133).
Designation and Identification
A structured coding system allows for precise identification of cable specifications, including core count, nominal cross-sectional area, and color coding following EN 2267-002 guidelines.
Applications
Aircraft Electrical Systems
EN 2267-003 cables are critical for wiring harnesses and onboard electrical installations that require durability under harsh thermal cycles and mechanical stresses.Aerospace Manufacturing
Aerospace manufacturers use these cables to ensure standardized quality, compatibility, and traceability in electrical components.Maintenance and Repair
Clearly marked and standardized cables simplify inspection, repair, and replacements in aerospace electrical systems, enhancing operational safety and reducing downtime.High-Temperature Electronics
Suitable for aerospace electronic devices and sensors exposed to wide temperature variations, ensuring consistent electrical performance.
