Conduit - Component Catalog

Part Family: Electronics

Manufacturers: Conduits are made by manufacturers such as Boeing Aircraft, Glenair, Fairchild, 3M, Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Linx Technologies Inc., and many others.

Functionality of Conduits:

Electrical conduits are tubes used to protect and direct electrical wiring in a building or structure. They can be made from metal, plastic, carbon fiber, or fired clay. They are produced in a variety of different sizes and diameters depending on their intended use. Conduits are capable of withstanding intense vibration as well as high temperatures and pressures. Their chief purpose is to enclose and protect conductors from impact, moisture, and vapor. When installed properly with the appropriate sealers, a well-functioning conduit will not permit the flow of flammable gases and vapors.

FSG: Conduits are categorized under FSG 59: Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components

FSC: Conduits are categorized under FSC 5975: Electrical Hardware and Supplies

Common Applications:

Conduits are used in aircraft to route and protect wiring. The most commonly found conduit in aircraft is electrical metallic tubing (EMT). This type of conduit is sometimes referred to as thin-wall and, though it is not threaded, can be used with threaded fittings designed to clamp to it. Pieces of conduit are usually connected by these clamps. In general, EMT Conduits are made from coated steel, though they can also be made from aluminum.
