Overview - EN 4652-222:2017 (TNC, crimp, square flange receptacle)
EN 4652-222:2017 is a European aerospace product standard that defines the characteristics, materials, electrical and mechanical requirements, and test methods for a Type‑2 TNC interface, crimp version, square flange receptacle (50 Ω). Published by CEN/ASD‑STAN, it applies to coaxial radio‑frequency connectors used in aerospace and defence equipment where reliable 50 ohm RF connections are required.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Connector type & assembly: TNC screwed‑on coupling, crimp technology, square flange receptacle (Type 2).
- Electrical characteristics:
- Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω
- Maximum operating frequency: 6 GHz
- VSWR limits: e.g. 1.10 at 150 MHz, 1.20 at 6 000 MHz (see standard Table 2)
- Insertion loss: 0.06 √f dB max (f in GHz) when mated to EN 4652‑220 straight plug of same cable group
- Contact resistance (initial central contact): ≤ 1.5 mΩ
- Insulation resistance: ≥ 5 000 MΩ
- Maximum operating voltage: 1 000 V rms (sea level)
- Mechanical & environmental:
- Service life: 500 mating cycles
- Retention of centre contact: ≥ 27 N
- Cable retention values specified by cable group (e.g. 400 N for groups E/F)
- Operating temperature range: −65 °C to +135 °C (polyolefin limited)
- Materials & finishes:
- Centre contact: copper alloy, gold plated over nickel
- Insulators: PTFE
- Seals: silicone rubber or fluorinated elastomer
- Body: copper alloy, nickel‑plated
- Stripping, tooling & compatibility:
- Acceptable cable groups and crimp tooling (M22520 series) listed
- Specific stripping lengths for cable groups C–F
- Tests & qualification:
- Uses EN 2591 series test methods covering RF performance (VSWR, insertion loss, impedance), environmental (salt mist, sand/dust, low pressure, temperature cycling), mechanical (vibration, shock, tensile/crimp strength) and electrical (dielectric, corona, RF leakage)
- Quality assurance per EN 9133; designation, marking, packaging and storage referenced to EN 4652‑001
Applications and who uses this standard
- Intended for manufacturers, design engineers and procurement specialists of aerospace, avionics and defence systems requiring standardised coaxial RF interfaces.
- Applicable where compact, high‑reliability 50 Ω TNC connector interfaces are needed: airborne radios, radar subsystems, telemetry, test equipment and flight‑critical RF harnesses.
- Useful for test labs and quality/qualification teams performing acceptance testing and supplier qualification.
