Summary of "HOW TO FIND PARTNUMBER IN BOEING AIRCRAFT : PART 2 #boeing"
Short summary
This is a hands‑on tutorial (Part 2) showing how to find part numbers and installation procedures for aircraft wiring items on a Boeing 777 using the wiring diagrams/front matter, splice lists and the SWPM (Standard Wiring Practices Manual). It builds on Part 1 (contacts/wire full part‑number method) and covers shielded wires, splices (SM/SP), multi‑conductor cables, ferrules, grounding wire and grounding blocks.
Main workflow (how to find a part number / procedure)
- Identify the symbol in the wiring diagram (e.g., circle = shielded single conductor, figure‑8 = twisted pair; suffix Z = shield).
- Read the wire number (bundle + wire ID) and gauge/type code from the wire list.
- Use the wiring diagram front matter to decode codes (SM vs SP, type codes, ferrule codes, FD, dot‑dot meaning, etc.).
- Locate the partial part number or code family from the SWPM wire type tables (e.g., RO, R1) and construct the full wire part number (see Part 1 method).
- For splices/terminals: check splice lists or front matter for item numbers and candidate part numbers (SM not listed in splice list; SP listed).
- Cross‑reference SWPM chapters for installation procedures and exact part numbers for sleeves, sealed splices, heat‑shrink, solder sleeves, ferrules, grounding modules, and tools. Also check SWPM general chapters for material/temperature grades and wire OD when selecting sleeves/sleeve sizes.
Examples covered (explicit findings)
Example 1 — Contact #10 / wire 1003‑18 (shielded)
- Wire: 1003‑18, type RO, family AC, shield indicated (Z suffix). Shield status = DED (dead‑end) per wiring diagram.
- Splice: SM4 (splice within same bundle). Note: SMs are not listed in the splice list; SPs are.
- Actions:
- Use the wire list to confirm gauge/type.
- SWPM 2000‑13 (wire type codes) for partial part number of RO.
- SWPM 2010‑15 (assembly of shield ground wires) → “assembly of shield dead end” for materials, heat‑shrink size and procedure.
- SWPM 2030‑12 (assembly of splices) and front matter codes (example Delta 436‑36/37/38…) to select sealed butt splice part number and installation steps.
- Also consult SWPM 2000‑11 (material & temperature grade) and 2000‑16 (wire outer diameter) for correct sleeve selection.
Example 2 — Contacts #8 & #9 / cable to DM52124 / wire 2002 B/R
- Wire: 2002, two conductors (blue and red), shielded, type R1, family JB, gauge 18.
- Action: Look up R1 in SWPM 2000 (type code tables) for partial part number and conductor count; combine with the Part 1 method to build the full part number. Note: one side shield dead‑ends, the other side grounds (covered in Example 3).
Example 3 — Shield grounding, ferrule and grounding block GB12662
- One end uses a ferrule (FD code) — decode ferrule identification in front matter; the other end terminates in a grounding block (GB12662).
- Use the wire list to find mating wire numbers (e.g., 0050), bundle, and contact type code (type 1 = terminal block contact).
- Find the grounding block part number in the wiring manual grounding list (WDM).
- Installation: SWPM 2010‑15 (assembly of shield ground) → choose the correct method: “solder sleeve without integral wire” when using a separate ground wire; the chapter lists sleeve part numbers, tool part numbers, cut lengths and steps. For grounding modules, SWPM 2090‑15 provides assembly/installation, contact part numbers, insertion/removal tools and diagrams.
Key SWPM / WDM chapters referenced (useful quick list)
- SWPM 2000‑13: Wire type codes (RO, R1, etc.) — partial wire part numbers and conductor counts
- SWPM 2000‑11: Material and temperature grades
- SWPM 2000‑16: Wire outer diameter (for sleeve sizing)
- SWPM 2010: Wire installation / repair (general)
- SWPM 2010‑15: Assembly of shield ground wires — dead‑end, folded back, adjacent, with/without integral wire, solder sleeves, heat‑shrink specs
- SWPM 2030‑12: Assembly of splices (sealed butt splice procedures and part numbers)
- SWPM 2090‑15: Grounding modules / grounding block installation and contact insertion/removal
- Wiring diagram front matter / splice lists / grounding lists / WDM: for code decoding and itemized part numbers
Parts, materials & tools mentioned
- Sealed butt splices (Delta 436‑36/37/38/40/41 series examples)
- Solder sleeves and heat‑shrink (with specific lengths/temperature specs per SWPM)
- Ferrules (FD codes), grounding blocks (GB12662 example), contact part numbers, insertion/removal tools
- Template sheet: recommended to capture bundle, wire number, gauge, type, family, splice item numbers, chapter references and notes (author uses one to track findings)
Other notes
- SM vs SP: SM = splice within same bundle (not listed in splice list); SP = splice between bundles (listed).
- Presenter frequently uses the front matter to decode numeric/type codes (e.g., code 9 = splice moisture seal).
- The video repeatedly cross‑references wiring manual data and SWPM chapters to pull both part numbers and precise installation procedures; temperature rating and wire OD are required to choose correct sleeve sizes and materials.
Main speaker / sources
- Speaker: the channel presenter (unnamed) who narrates the tutorial and demonstrates manual lookups.
- Primary sources used and cited in the video: Boeing wiring diagrams/front matter, wiring manual (WDM) grounding lists and splice lists, and the Boeing SWPM chapters listed above.
