Wire bundles in aircraft are subject to a wide variety of altitude humidity and vibration extremes.
Stripping kapton insulated wire.
Sure there is the easy solder magnet wire with the insulation that turns to flux but for one reason or another you will eventually end up getting.
Mechanical stripping is an inexpensive easy method of stripping most commonly used insulation materials and is the preferred methos for manually stripping film insulations such as kapton.
Photo courtesy labinal whether it s a single engine airplane a military helicopter or a commercial jetliner it s hard to get airborne without lots of electrical wiring.
The aerospace industry is notorious for some of the most challenging.
After years of use in many different civilian and military platforms including the f 16 uh 60 ah 1 f 15 and f 18 serious safety issues began to appear.
For these types of applications carbon dioxide laser technology is used to vaporize or melt away the plastic insulation from the conductor or shield.
These scissors are tested to 1 000 volts to meet iec 60900 and astm f1505.
When accelerated aging is performed this usually means that the stressors.
12 5mm 0 5 inch teflon over polyimide kapton research into laser wire stripping originated in 1976 when nasa initiated a programme to develop a better method of stripping wire to overcome problems encountered in the production of the electrical wiring systems during the development of the space shuttle.
Kapton insulated wire was one of the wire types investigated in this effort.
Thin insulation creates processing challenges.
Best way to strip magnet wire.
Wire preparation mechanical stripping.
For wire cutting and stripping insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits.
Wires and cables can function as simple discrete jumpers on circuit boards or woven into intricate harnesses that snake through a vehicle functioning as the nervous system for the routing of command.
Wire conductors are available in many forms ranging from single solid insulated conductors to highly integrated multiple conductor cables.
Of the examined stresses several test conditions were examined to accelerate the aging of the samples.
The report containing vast amounts of data is still available on the faa s website.
When we talk of general laser wire stripping we mean extruded and tape wrapped insulations and not dipped enamel insulations or shield cutting.
On april 3 2017 interconnect informed the reader about the advantages of kapton wire today we will present information about the disadvantages of kapton insulated wire.
