Overview

EN 2240-003:2010 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the required characteristics for the incandescent lamp, code 44, specifically designed for aerospace applications. This part of the Aerospace series ensures that lamp code 44 meets rigorous quality, performance, and safety benchmarks demanded by the aerospace industry. The standard works in conjunction with EN 2756, which outlines corresponding test methods. Compliance with EN 2240-003:2010 guarantees that aerospace incandescent lamps deliver consistent performance essential for aircraft electrical systems.

Key Topics

• Scope & Application
  Defines the physical, electrical, and photometric characteristics of lamp code 44 designed for aerospace use.

• Dimensions and Physical Characteristics
  Establishes dimensional requirements in millimeters, mass specifications, and form factor details to ensure compatibility and interchangeability in aerospace equipment.

• Electrical Specifications

  • Nominal voltage: 6.3 V
  • Nominal current: 0.25 A
  • Power rating: 1.575 W
  • Luminous flux: 11.3 lumens

• Filament Form and Design
  Specifies filament shape (C - 2R type) aligned with EN 2240-002, enabling consistent light output and durability.

• Life Expectancy

  • Static life with DC current: 1,000 hours
  • Static life with AC current: 1,200 hours

• Marking and Identification
  Lamps and packaging must carry the international code number per EN 2240-002 for traceability and standard identification.

• Standards Coordination
  Designed to be used along with EN 2756 (test methods), EN 2240-001 (technical specifications), EN 2240-002 (main characteristics), and EN 2241 (lamp caps dimensions).

Applications

EN 2240-003:2010 is critical for manufacturers, quality assurance teams, and design engineers involved in aerospace electrical systems that require incandescent lamps with highly reliable lighting characteristics, including:

• Cockpit instrument lighting
• Indicator lamps in aerospace control panels
• Backup and emergency lighting systems
• Aerospace equipment requiring standardized incandescent lamp replacements
• Maintenance and procurement reference for ensuring lamps meet aerospace-grade performance and safety

By adhering to EN 2240-003:2010, aerospace components will maintain operational safety, performance consistency, and durability under demanding conditions.
