Overview
EN 3155-043:2006 is a CEN/AECMA product standard specifying the required characteristics and tests for female triaxial electrical contacts (043), size 08, type D, solder termination, class P, used in aerospace connection elements per EN 3155-002. These contacts provide screened (triaxial) signal transmission for avionics and are intended to be interchangeable with legacy military/defence variants (see related references such as MIL C 39029/95 / AS 39029/95).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Contact type and class: Type D triaxial contacts with a screening feature; Class P indicates an operating temperature range of −65 °C to +125 °C.
- Physical characteristics: Dimensions in millimetres are defined (see figure references in the standard); maximum mass 4.80 g. Body material is copper alloy with gold plating over an appropriate undercoat (selective protection permitted; thickness not specified).
- Permitted cables: Covers single-braid, double-braid and high-immunity bifilar cables per EN 3375-003 / -004 / -005.
- Termination and tooling: Solder termination; tooling and insertion/extraction guidance conform to MIL-I-81969 and EN 4008-002 for termination tooling. Extraction tool example: M81969/14-06.
- Electrical and mechanical performance: Specified contact resistance limits for centre and intermediate conductors (initial and after-test thresholds), rated-current resistance figures, and dielectric/insulation requirements.
- Environmental and reliability tests: Visual/dimensional inspection, contact resistance (low level and at rated current), insulation resistance, voltage proof, endurance at temperature, rapid temperature change, salt mist, fluid resistance, shock and vibration (EN 2591 series test methods referenced). Discontinuity requirements (microsecond range) and gauge insertion/extraction forces are specified.
- Gauges and marking: Gauge dimensions, designation format (e.g., EN3155-043F08A), and manufacturer marking per EN 3155-001.
Applications and users
- Aerospace OEMs and suppliers specifying or producing triaxial signal connectors for avionics, flight controls, sensors and RF-shielded signal harnesses.
- Connector manufacturers designing female triaxial contacts and mating systems compatible with EN 3155 series and legacy military types.
- Qualification and test laboratories performing EN 2591- and EN 3155-series tests for acceptance and environmental qualification.
- Procurement, maintenance and repair teams requiring verified interchangeability, environmental performance and tooling information for installation and replacement.
Related standards
- EN 3155-001 (technical specification)
- EN 3155-002 (list and utilisation of contacts)
- EN 3155-042 (male triaxial contacts, mating counterpart)
- EN 2591 series (test methods)
- EN 3375-003 / -004 / -005 (permitted signal cable types)
- EN 4008-002 (termination tooling) and MIL-I-81969 (insertion/extraction tooling references)
This standard is essential when specifying or validating triaxial, size 08, solder-type female contacts for aerospace applications where shielding, environmental ruggedness and interchangeability with established military connector families are required.
