Overview
EN 3155-083:2019 is a CEN product standard in the aerospace series that defines the characteristics, tests and tooling for female electrical contacts, Type A, crimp, class S, size 8. It applies to contacts used in elements of connection per EN 3155-002 and is designed to be intermateable with the associated male contacts in EN 3155-065. Use of EN 3155-083:2019 is intended together with EN 3155-001 (technical specification) and covers dimensional, material, performance and marking requirements for reliable aerospace connector assemblies.
Key topics and requirements
- Contact type and class: Type A female, crimp termination, class S (operating temperature range −65 °C to +200 °C).
- Dimensions & mass: Defined interface dimensions and tolerances (see figure/table in the standard) to ensure intermateability with EN 3155-065 male contacts.
- Materials & plating: Copper-alloy body with gold plating over an appropriate undercoat; selective protection permitted.
- Marking: Colour-band identification per ISO 8843 (examples: red/red or red/white combinations for size 8 variants).
- Permissible conductors: Cable/conductor sizes referenced to EN 2083 and EN 4434; AWG equivalents shown in the standard’s tables.
- Tooling: Crimp tools in accordance with SAE-AS22520 and specified die/locator selector references; insertion/extraction tools per SAE-AS81969 (e.g., M81969/14-06).
- Tests: Electrical (contact resistance, insulation, voltage proof, current overload), environmental (endurance at 200 °C, temperature cycling, salt mist, fluid and ozone resistance), mechanical (vibration, shock, mechanical endurance, crimp tensile strength, insertion/extraction forces) - tests are executed per EN 3155-001 and EN 2591 series as applicable. Example crimp tensile values are included for qualification in the standard.
Applications and users
- Primary applications: Aerospace electrical connectors where high-reliability crimped female contacts are required (e.g., circular connectors EN 3645 and rectangular connectors EN 4165).
- Who uses this standard:
- Connector and contact manufacturers (product design, qualification, production control)
- Cable and harness assembly houses (termination procedures and tooling selection)
- Aerospace OEMs and suppliers (procurement, acceptance criteria)
- Test laboratories and quality engineers (qualification and periodic testing)
- Design engineers specifying intermateable connector systems
Related standards
- EN 3155-001 (technical specification)
- EN 3155-002 (list and utilization of contacts)
- EN 3155-065 (male counterpart)
- EN 2083, EN 4434 (conductors)
- EN 2591 (test methods)
- SAE-AS22520 (crimp tooling), SAE-AS81969 (insertion/extraction tools)
EN 3155-083:2019 is essential for ensuring consistent, qualified performance of size‑8 female crimp contacts in aerospace connector systems and for aligning design, tooling and testing across the supply chain.
