Description / Abstract:
Specification Requirements
This specification covers design requirements, performance
requirements, and methods of procurement for tools and associated
accessories used to strip aerospace vehicle electrical wire and
cable. Aerospace vehicle electrical wire has stranded conductors
with protective plating and specialized insulation. Poor quality
wire strippers or mismatched blades can compromise the performance
of wiring.
Intended Use
The purpose of this specification is to define the electrical
wire or cable tool's design performance, interchangeability,
repeatability, and reliability. The specification establishes
standard criteria for the design, manufacture and qualification of
stripping tools. Wire or cable stripped by the tool shall be
specified with the tool (see 3.1.1). The specification provides a
system of procurement and quality control of specified wire
stripping tools.
Qualification
Products procured from this specification require a supplier to
be on a Qualified Product List at the time of request for purchase
(see 6.4).
Part Number Structure
Unless otherwise specified in the detail specification the part
number structure for the tool shall be
AS5768/Y – XXXX
