This Standard specifies:<\/p>\n
Requirements for the following crimping wire connections intended for high reliability electrical connections for use on spacecraft and associated equipment operating under high vacuum, thermal cycling and launch vibration:<\/p>\n
removable contacts, single wire<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
removable contacts, multiple wires<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
coaxial contacts, ferrules<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
lugs and splices.<\/p>\n
\nNOTE These are the most commonly used crimping wire connections and are represented in Figure 1-1.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
The general conditions to be met for the approval of connections other than the above mentioned ones.<\/p>\n
\nNOTE Additional forms of crimps, not covered in this standard, are listed (not exhaustively) in the informative Annex A.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Product assurance provisions for both the specific and the generic connections mentioned above.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Training and certification requirements for operators and inspectors (clause 5.5.2), additional to those specified in ECSS-Q-ST-20.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project, in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.<\/p>\n
