Space product assurance - Crimping of high-reliability electrical connections; English version EN 16602-70-26:2014
Raumfahrtproduktsicherung - Quetschen von hochzuverlässigen elektrischen Verbindungen; Englische Fassung EN 16602-70-26:2014
Overview
This standard specifies: requirements for the following crimping wire connections intended for high reliability electrical connections for use on spacecraft and associated equipment operating under high vacuum, thermal cycling and launch vibration: removable contacts, single wire, removable contacts, multiple wires, coaxial contacts, ferrules, lugs and splices. These are the most commonly used crimping wire connections and are represented in Figure 1-1. The general conditions to be met for the approval of connections other than the above mentioned ones. Additional forms of crimps, not covered in this standard, are listed (not exhaustively) in the informative Annex A. Product assurance provisions for both the specific and the generic connections mentioned above. Training and certification requirements for operators and inspectors (5.5.2), additional to those specified in ECSS-Q-ST-20. This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project, in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00. This document (DIN EN 16602-70-26:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/CLC/TC 5 "Space", the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has therefore precedence over any EN covering the same scope but with a wider domain of applicability (for example: aerospace). The responsible German body involved in its preparation is Working Committee NA 131-10-01 AA "Interoperabilität von Informations-, Kommunikations- und Navigationssystemen" ("Interoperability of information, communication and navigation systems") at the DIN Standards Committee Aerospace (NL).
