Provides updated tests and test requirements for crimped joints with copper, copper alloy, aluminium and aluminium alloy conductors.

This Part of BS 5G 178 specifies the design requirements and tests for components and tools for the crimping of insulated and non-insulated terminals and splices to general purpose electrical cables or equipment wires for aircraft with conductors of copper, copper alloy, aluminium or aluminium alloy, in locations in which the stabilized conductor temperature does not exceed the value specified for the relevant type of cable.

Tests for the components, tools and crimped joints are described in Annex A.
