Overview
EN 3218-011:2006 is a European product standard in the aerospace series that defines the characteristics of tools for insert extraction used with rectangular, metallic-shell, screw‑locked connectors. The standard specifically applies to connectors conforming to EN 3218-005 to EN 3218-008 and establishes the format for identifying the tool, dimensional conventions and the reference technical specification. EN 3218-011 was prepared under AECMA‑STAN and adopted by CEN, making it a harmonized national standard across participating European bodies.
Key topics
- Scope and purpose: Specifies the required characteristics of tools designed to extract inserts from the EN 3218 family of rectangular connectors.
- Connector coverage: Covers inserts used in connectors defined by EN 3218‑005, EN 3218‑006, EN 3218‑007 and EN 3218‑008 (including plugs and receptacles with size 22 solder contacts and size 20 crimp contacts as referenced in those parts).
- Dimensional convention: Drawings and dimensions are presented in millimetres; a representative figure (Figure 1) illustrates the tool description.
- Designation and identification: Defines a clear designation block and identity block example (e.g., “TOOL, INSERT EXTRACTION - EN3218‑011”) to standardize product naming and documentation.
- Normative references and tests: Requires use of referenced documents (e.g., EN 2591‑100 for test methods and EN 3218‑001 for the overarching technical specification) as indispensable for correct application.
- Reference to technical specification: The detailed technical requirements for connector interfaces and related characteristics are given by EN 3218‑001.
Applications
- Aerospace manufacturing and assembly: Specifies the accepted tool characteristics for safe, repeatable removal of inserts during production or retrofit work.
- Maintenance and repair (MRO): Guides maintenance technicians and avionics shops on compatible extraction tools for EN 3218-series connectors to avoid damage to contacts or housings.
- Procurement and quality assurance: Helps purchasers and quality engineers specify compliant tools and verify supplier deliveries against a recognized European product standard.
- Connector and tool designers: Provides the standard naming, reference rules and test references necessary to design extraction tools compatible with EN 3218-series connectors.
