Splices furnished in accordance with this specification shall be one type, disconnect splice assembly, of the sizes shown in Figure 1 as specified (see 6.2).
These recommendations cover the use of taper pins in taper pin terminal blocks, multi-contact electric connectors, and components designed to accept taper pins. Taper pins are intended to facilitate termination of a wire and are not to be employed as a quick-disconnect device. The mating portions of taper pins and taper pin receptacles shall be in accordance with Figure 1.
To establish design recommendations that will provide a basis for safe and reliable connections to threaded screw- or stud-type electrical equipment terminations. These recommendations are directed primarily, but not solely, to the aerospace and ground support equipment industries. Since individual design criteria may alter the details as outlined, it is therefore important that this Aerospace Information Report (AIR) not be considered mandatory, but be used only as a design guide.
This publication lists the symbols used by manufacturers of electrical and electronic wiring devices and accessories to identify their products that are within the scope of SAE Subcommittees AE-8C1 and AE-8C2. These symbols appear on small wiring devices where the manufacturers' name (or recognizable portion) is not used.
This publication serves to define, through pictorial representation, those identification symbols, which are in current use by manufacturers of contacts for use in electrical connectors as well as terminals and splices used with electrical wiring.
This report defines the guidelines for a COMMON TERMINATION METHOD for aerospace vehicle electrical wiring systems and shows how designers can select a minimum number of different parts, among preferred connecting devices that will satisfy all system requirements while achieving the objective of minimum cost in procurement, assembly and maintenance without compromising quality or reliability.
The recommendations apply to all types and sizes of equipment. Some modifications or compromises may be necessary for very large or very small equipment but such deviations should be kept to a minimum.
