Overview
SIST EN 3155-055:2009 is a European standard developed by CEN within the aerospace sector, focusing on electrical contacts used in connection elements. Specifically, this standard covers female thermocouple electrical contacts made of Nickel-Aluminium (NiAl), Type C, crimped, Class T. These contacts are designed for precise thermocouple applications in aerospace systems, ensuring reliable temperature measurement and signal transmission under demanding environmental conditions.
This standard defines the required dimensions, materials, performance characteristics, testing methods, and tooling requirements for these contacts. It complements and should be used alongside EN 3155-001 (technical specifications) and EN 3155-002 (list and utilization of contacts). Corresponding male contacts are specified in EN 3155-054.
Key Topics
- Scope: Specifies female NiAl thermocouple contacts for temperature ranges from -65 °C to 260 °C, suitable for aerospace electrical connection elements.
- Dimensions & Mass: Detailed geometric parameters including contact size, barrel size, and mass are defined to ensure standardization and interchangeability.
- Material Specification: Contacts are made of unplated Nickel-Aluminium alloy (NiAl), chosen for its stability and thermoelectric properties.
- Marking & Identification: Colour codes and alloy markings follow ISO 8843, with specific colours assigned to different contact and barrel size combinations for easy identification.
- Permissible Cable Types: Cables compatible with EN 4049 are specified, with acceptable conductor sizes and insulation characteristics to maintain signal integrity.
- Tooling Requirements: Crimping and insertion/extraction tools conform to MIL standards (e.g., MIL-DTL-22520 and MIL-I-81969) ensuring precise and repeatable assembly processes.
- Cable Stripping & Assembly: Defined stripping lengths and crimp dimensions support consistent installation quality.
- Testing & Quality Assurance: Comprehensive tests per EN 2591 standards cover visual inspection, dimensional verification, electrical resistance, thermal cycling, mechanical endurance, environmental resistance (salt mist, vibration), and mechanical properties of crimp connections.
- Designation System: Standardized product coding simplifies procurement and documentation, ensuring clarity in aerospace supply chains.
Applications
EN 3155-055 female thermocouple contacts are critical components in aerospace systems requiring accurate temperature measurement and control. Their applications include:
- Engine and exhaust monitoring systems: Reliable thermal signal transmission from high-temperature sensors.
- Environmental control systems: Precise temperature sensing in aircraft cabin and systems.
- Flight control instrumentation: Integration in electrical connectors to maintain data accuracy under vibration and temperature extremes.
- Thermocouple assemblies: Used in conjunction with male thermocouple contacts (EN 3155-054) to form complete sensor circuits.
These contacts support high-performance electrical connections where reliability, durability, and thermal stability are essential due to the harsh aerospace operating environment.
