FOREWORDThis SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides information and guidelines on cylindrical and rectangular connectors and accessor

6、ies with components manufactured from composite materials. Electrical connectors and their associated accessories traditionally utilized aluminum alloy as the standard material for component parts such as shells and coupling nuts. This document provides information on connectors and accessories that

7、 utilize composite materials to replace the standard aluminum alloy components. Composite connectors offer the user advantages over connectors constructed with aluminum components such as weight savings and corrosion protection. This document addresses factors that military connector specifications,

8、 configured for aluminum components, may not clearly define and establishes guidelines for test requirements for specific applications. General use connectors are designed to operate in severe environments typically associated with military defense electronics and weapon systems and commercial aeros

9、pace applications. Qualification test requirements from these environments have evolved and are defined in EIA 364. These assure the user that qualified connectors will meet those demanding performance parameters. Evaluating connectors containing composite components using testing evolved from exper

10、ience with aluminum components may not identify stress factors associated with composite materials. The testing designed to find flaws in aluminum components may also inadvertently over stress composite materials. Composite connectors offer the designer an alternative material to connectors having t

11、heir shell components manufactured entirely from aluminum alloy for applications where weight saving and corrosion protection are desired. Composite connectors are intended to replace aluminum connectors and be capable of meeting their established performance parameters. See Section 4. Composite con

12、nectors discussed in this document are connectors with shell components wholly or partly manufactured from high temperature resins in lieu of aluminum alloys. The composite material is generally defined as thermoplastic or thermoset resin mixed with a blend of strengthening fibers to achieve mechani

13、cal strength which is then metalized to achieve electrical performance similar to plated aluminum alloy. The composite connector or accessory shell may include a metal insert. The composite materials selected should be comparable to aluminum within the temperature realms specified in general use app

14、lications, such as -55 to +150 C, -65 to +175 C, -65 to +200 C, and -65 to +260 C. The design and construction of composite connectors is subject to the requirements of the connector specification. This document recommends designs that utilize high temperature thermoplastic or thermoset resins, comp

15、atible to metalization processes. The effects of the following types of stress are known when applied to plated aluminum shell connectors, additional testing should be considered for composite connectors: Copyright SAE International Provided by IHS under license with SAENot for ResaleNo reproduction

Weight savi

41、ngs b. Corrosion protection Evaluation of these advantages should take several factors into consideration before making a final part selection, which will determine the product classification. Some of these are: a. Temperature realm b. Class c. Shell conductivity d. Shell construction 3.1.2 Classifi

42、cation Composite connectors and accessories may be constructed from different materials with disparate properties, therefore, it is essential for the user to determine the application requirements and select the connector type, grade, and class which best meets their needs. Example: AS29600 and MIL-

43、DTL-38999, composite connector class is Type 1, Grade A, Class 2. See 1.2, 3.1.5, 3.1.6, and 3.1.7. 3.1.3 Weight Savings Composite materials discussed in this document have the potential of reducing the connector and accessory weight, depending on the percentage of aluminum alloy being replaced (see

44、 Table 1). TABLE 1 - COMPOSITE MATERIALS - WEIGHT SAVINGS ALUMINUM VERSUS COMPOSITE Aluminum Composite Specific gravity 2.70 1.50 Pounds per cubic inch 0.0975 0.0546 3.1.4 Corrosion Resistance Composite materials discussed in this document have varying degrees of corrosion resistance. This is depend

45、ent on product classification and material used. Compared to plated aluminum connectors, all classifications will provide the user with significantly improved corrosion protection. For example, see Table 2. TABLE 2 - COMPOSITE MATERIALS - CORROSION RESISTANCE ALUMINUM VERSUS COMPOSITE (W CLASS FINIS

47、ument have different thermal properties. Temperature is a factor when considering composite material selection and is the reason for having classifications. See 1.2. 3.1.5.1 Temperature Temperature effects should be evaluated by continuous temperature testing in the product environment in lieu of sh

48、ort-term temperature excursions. Short-term excursions in this document is defined as minutes or less than 1 hr. Continuous temperature is defined as life cycle or several hundred hours. Connectors manufactured from composite materials offer the user performance equal to aluminum, within the operating temperature class. 3.1.6 Class Composite connectors described in this document are classified into three basic groups: a. General duty: Class 1, 2, and 3 b. High temperature: Class 4 c. Space grade: Class 5 Composite materials discussed in this document off
