Overview
SIST EN 4604-002:2010 is a crucial European Standard developed by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN) for the aerospace sector. It focuses on electrical cables for signal transmission used in the on-board electrical systems of aircraft. This standard specifies the common characteristics and provides a comprehensive list of product standards applicable to these signal transmission cables, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and performance across the aerospace industry.
By aligning with SIST EN 4604-002:2010, manufacturers and engineers can guarantee that their cables meet stringent aerospace requirements related to construction, identification, marking, and technical specifications. The standard applies across many European countries, facilitating harmonization among national regulations and standards.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
Defines the use of electrical cables specifically designed for signal transmission within aircraft electrical systems, highlighting its aerospace-centric application.Normative References
Covers related standards such as EN 3475-100 for test methods, EN 3838 for user-applied markings, and various parts of EN 4604 product standards detailing specific cable types (e.g., coaxial cables with different impedance and temperature ratings).Product Standards List
Provides clear classification of cable types, impedance, attenuation limits at 1 GHz, diameter, screening types, and temperature ratings. For example:- EN 4604-003: Coaxial cable, 50 ohms, 200 °C, type WZ
- EN 4604-005: Coaxial cable, 75 ohms, 200 °C, type WL
- EN 4604-009: Lightweight coaxial cable, 50 ohms, 180 °C, type KW
Materials and Construction
Defines material composition, dimensions, and physical characteristics to meet aerospace durability and performance standards.Identification and Marking
Specifies manufacturer marking protocols in accordance with EN 4604-001 and EN 3838, including cable designation formats and color coding. A shorter cable cross-designation system (per TR 6058) aids ease of identification in documentation.Technical Specification
Refers to EN 4604-001 for detailed technical requirements covering electrical, mechanical, and environmental properties of cables.
Applications
SIST EN 4604-002:2010 electrical cables are designed for use in critical aerospace environments, ensuring reliable signal transmission in:
Aircraft On-board Systems
Signal wiring for avionics, flight control, communication, and navigation systems requiring consistent impedance and low signal attenuation.Aerospace Defense Platforms
Special applications requiring robust, temperature-resistant cables that can withstand demanding flight conditions.Maintenance and Manufacturing
Standardized cable products streamline inventory, inspections, and replacements, facilitating compliance with aerospace quality and safety regulations.
This standard supports aerospace manufacturers, cable suppliers, systems integrators, and maintenance organizations by providing a uniform framework for sourcing and using electrical signal transmission cables.
