Abstract
A resin film configured to hold a conductive metallic track against a panel. The resin film partially covers the conductive metallic track, such that the conductive metallic track has at least one region which does not have the resin film, so as to allow an electrical connection by contact. Thus, in the context of assembly on a panel, the metallic track incorporated between the panel and the resin film is protected, thus rendering this technical solution particularly robust. Furthermore, the resin film electrically insulates the metallic track from surrounding elements, and the regions which do not have resin film allow an electrical connection by contact.
Claims10
A structural panel of an aircraft comprising:
- a conductive metallic track positioned against a face of the structural panel,
- a resin film configured to hold the conductive metallic track against the structural panel,
- wherein the resin film partially covers the conductive metallic track, such that the conductive metallic track has at least one region which does not have the resin film, in order to allow an electrical connection by contact.
An aircraft comprising:
- at least one structural panel of an aircraft comprising:
- a conductive metallic track positioned against a face of the structural panel,
- a resin film partially covering the conductive metallic track and the face of the structural panel so as to hold the conductive metallic track against the structural panel,
- wherein the conductive metallic track has at least one region which does not have the resin film, in order to allow an electrical connection by contact.
A method for assembling a structural panel of an aircraft, comprising at least the following steps:
- cutting a conductive metallic track from a plate made of conductive metallic material;
- applying a resin film against the conductive metallic track to partially cover the conductive metallic track, so as to leave at least one region which does not have resin film;
- and
- positioning the conductive metallic track and the resin film against a face of the structural panel, such that the resin film at least partially covers the face of the structural panel, so as to hold the metallic track against the structural panel.
