Overview
EN 3475-416:2005 is a CEN/AECMA aerospace standard that specifies a thermal stability test method for coaxial cables used in aircraft. Intended to be used together with EN 3475-100 (General test methods), this product standard defines specimen preparation, heat exposure, and post‑ageing examinations to evaluate the performance of aerospace coaxial cable constructions after thermal ageing.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Test method to evaluate coaxial cable performance after thermal stability (heat ageing). Use in combination with EN 3475-100.
- Specimen preparation: Four specimens with defined lengths (e.g., 150×, 75× nominal diameter, product‑specific, and ≥3 m). Conditioning rules require no bending radius less than 30× overall diameter during temperature exposure.
- Heat exposure: Specimens are placed in a heat chamber for seven days at the temperature specified in the applicable product standard; then conditioned at ambient for 24 hours.
- Test operations (selected):
- Visual examination (EN 3475-201)
- Shrinkage measurement (inner conductor to dielectric)
- Voltage proof test (EN 3475-302)
- Continuity of conductors (EN 3475-306)
- Capacitance per unit length (EN 3475-801)
- Attenuation at 200 MHz (EN 3475-806)
- Characteristic impedance (EN 3475-805, Method B)
- Cold bend test (EN 3475-406) - conditioning 16 hours and 3 full turns at controlled rate
- Dynamic winding - 10 cycles, 30±5 s per cycle, mandrel diameter 15× nominal
- Bend test and impedance checks
- Acceptance criteria:
- Manufacturer marking must remain legible and jacket must show no splits or cracks.
- Maximum shrinkage, allowable capacitance change, attenuation increase and impedance variation are specified in the applicable product standard (limits are not defined in EN 3475-416 itself).
- No electrical breakdown or conductor discontinuity after testing.
Applications and users
EN 3475-416 is used for qualification, acceptance and verification of coaxial cables in aerospace and avionics applications. Typical users:
- Aerospace cable designers and manufacturers (product development and qualification)
- Test laboratories and quality assurance teams performing thermal ageing and electrical tests
- Avionics engineers and system integrators specifying cable performance for aircraft installations
- Procurement and certification bodies requiring documented thermal stability for aircraft electrical wiring
