Lightning Strike Tests of Composite Connectors
Abstract
Test results are presented on the lightning strike effects on composite and hybrid type multipin aircraft connectors in comparison with the standard all metal connectors. These tests were performed using a unipolar double exponential long duration pulse recommended by the SAE-AE4L committee at peak current levels of 3 kA, 10 KA, 15 kA, and 20 kA. Such peak current levels might be found in all-composite or partially composite aircraft or in exposed areas of all-metal aircraft.
