BS EN 4612-002:2019

This standard BS EN 4612-002:2019 Aerospace series. Cables, electrical, for general purpose, single and multicore assembly. XLETFE Family. Jacketed or screened and jacketed is classified in these ICS categories:

• 49.060 Aerospace electric equipment and systems

This document specifies the characteristics of UV laser printable jacket, tin plated copper conductor, electrical cables Crosslinked Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene co-polymer (XLETFE) family for use in the on board electrical systems of aircraft operating at temperatures between – 65 °C and 135 °C at 600 V rms at sea level. This insulation system has been used in aerospace applications using 115 V (phase-to-neutral) 400 Hz ac and 28 Vdc. Verification of the suitability of cables for use in other electrical systems is the responsibility of the user.

These jacketed cables are suitable for airframe use without additional protection when the jacket is present. When the jacket is stripped back the cores may need additional protection. In case of conflict between this standard and other referenced documents the requirements of this standard shall take precedence.
