Q

How many indents does the two Daniel’s crimped put into the socket or pin ?

A

8 impressions

26
Q

What must you check is on crimp tool before using it ?

A

Calibration tag

27
Q

What does PIDG stand for ?

A

Pre insulated diamond grip

28
Q

Whats the 4 advantages of using crimps ?

A
  1. Good conductivity
  2. Uniformity of operation
  3. Strength of connection
  4. Corrosion proof
29
Q

How do you know if you have successfully crimped a PIDG terminal ?

A

Make sure crimp dots codes are visible on top of terminal and that wire strands are sticking out 1/32 inch.

30
Q

How can you recognise which crimp tool to use ?

A

Colour coded handles on tool

31
Q

Whats the purpose of an insulation adjusting pin ?

A

Allows various insulation diameters so it grips insulation well

32
Q

When stripping a wire from crimping. How much insulation should you remove ?

A

Barrel length + 1/32 inch

33
Q

What size gauge wires do you use a hydraulic crimp tool for ?

A

AWG - 2-8
( different dies can be fitted )

34
Q

Does a hydraulic crimp tool have a release handle ?

A

Yes, release is on handle which you unthread.

35
Q

What psi does a hydraulic crimp tool crimp to ?

A

2000 psi

36
Q

How Can an electrical crimp machine be used ?

A

By hand or foot
( these also have release handles )

37
Q

Whats the 3 ways you test a crimp tool ?

A

Visual inspection.
Tensile test or pull test
Volts drop test

38
Q

Explain the tensile test or pull test on crimp ?

A

Crimp end onto wire with tool. Hang weight off of the crimped part to ensure its not to loose. If crimp stays on and secure, the crimp tool has passed.

39
Q

Explain the voltage drop test on a crimp ?

A

Crimp wire with tool then send volts through end of cable and test how much volts comes out other end. If voltage drops to much IAW the max volts drop sheet then it’s failed.

40
Q

What colour is the extraction side of rear release tool ?

A

White

41
Q

Whats co-axial cables used for ?

A

Radio frequency’s

42
Q

Is the co-axial cable grounded at both ends, one end or none ?

A

Both ends

43
Q

Whats the two connectors found at the end of a co-axial cable ?

A

BNC - bayonet nut coupling
TNC - threaded nut coupling

44
Q

Whats a TDR ?

A

Tester which tells you how far down any damage is on a wire.

45
Q

What will the last two numbers on a cables surface tell you ?

A

Size / gauge of wire

46
Q

How many strands does a small wire rang from ?

A

7-19
( larger wire has 19 or more )

47
Q

What wire will you use where large amount of current must be carried for long distances ?

A

Aluminium wire

48
Q

Where are airframe cables used ?

A

Where open airframe wiring is needed.

49
Q

How long shall the insulation last on a fire resistant cable ?

A

5 minuets

50
Q

How long shall the insulation last on a fire proof cable ?

A

15 minuets

51
Q

What does a shielded cable stop from interfereing with the current ?

A

Stops magnetic field interfering

52
Q

Whats hot stamping ?

A

Where a lazar prints the cable identification on insulation every 12-18 inches

53
Q

Why is a hole drilled at the lowest point of a conduit ?

A

To allow moisture to exit

54
Q

If you drill hole through bulkhead, what must be fitted ?

A

Grommet and p-clip clamp each side to hold in place.

55
Q

Should you use tie straps on co-axial cables ?

A

No

56
Q

What cable is used In LRUs ?

A

Interconnect cable

57
Q

What is it called when two looms rub together and generate heat ?

A

Chafing

58
Q

Whats the three types of EWIS inspections ?

A

General visual inspecion ( GVI )
Detailed inspection ( DET )
Zonal inspections

59
Q

What can affect the heat disipotation of a wire ?

A

If dust builds up on surface.

60
