Cutting plate for joining together wiring harnesses of electrical cables on an aircraft

摘要

A cutting plate includes a planar interface able to accept electrical connectors, two ramps for supporting harnesses and two lateral walls, the dimensions of the interface and of the two ramps in a longitudinal direction being adapted to suit the number of connectors of the cutting plate and the dimensions in the directions other than the longitudinal direction and the dimensions of the lateral walls conforming to standard dimensions.

主权项

1. A cutting plate for joining together at least two wiring harnesses of electrical cables, the cutting plate comprising:
a planar interface configured to accept electrical connectors intended to connect together electrical cables of the harnesses to make electrical connections, the interface being defined in a plane having a first direction referred to as longitudinal and a second direction referred to as vertical which is orthogonal to the first direction, the vertical direction corresponding to the direction in which electrical connectors can be fixed to the interface, which electrical connectors are set out parallel to one another in succession in the said longitudinal direction; first and second ramps arranged one on either side of the interface, parallel to the longitudinal direction, and configured to act as supports for the harnesses; and first and second lateral walls provided at the ends of the interface with respect to the longitudinal direction; and fixing-aid elements, wherein the dimensions of the interface and of the first and second ramps in the longitudinal direction are adapted to suit the number of connectors that the cutting plate is to be able to accept; the dimensions of the interface and of the ramps in the directions other than the said longitudinal direction and the dimensions of the lateral walls of the cutting plate conform to standard dimensions; and the fixing-aid elements are provided on at least two different faces of the cutting plate.
