This specification covers crimp-style aluminum lug terminals and conductor splices for aluminum aircraft wire. Lug terminals and conductor splices are hereafter called “terminals.”
The AS81824 specification covers environment resistant, permanent crimp type, splices having heat shrinkable insulating sleeve and meltable environmental seals or heatless sealing sleeves. The splices may be used with tin, nickel, and silver-plated conductors in applications where the total temperature of the splice application does not exceed 200 °C or as specified in the detail specification.
This standard covers design requirements, performance requirements, and methods of procurement for tools and associated accessories used to cut aerospace vehicle electrical wire and cable. Aerospace vehicle electrical wire has stranded conductors with protective plating and specialized insulation. Poor quality wire cutting can compromise the performance of wiring.
