Design and testing of insulated and uninsulated screen terminating devices for general purpose screened electrical cables or wires in the temperature range defined in the relevant cable specifications.

This British Standard specifies the requirements for the design and testing of insulated and uninsulated screen terminating devices for general purpose screened electrical cables or wires for aircraft in the temperature ranges defined in the relevant cable specifications.

The devices are intended for the purpose of pigtailing the cable screen where a low resistance path to earth or linking of screens is required, or for the purpose of dead-ending.

The devices are not intended for use on radio frequency (R.F.) cables.

The types of screens in common use are as follows:

1. circular stranded braid;
2. flat stranded braid;
3. spiral screen (circular strands).

Where the design of the device excludes its use on a particular type or types of screen this will be declared.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
