Overview
EN 4639-003:2007 - Aerospace series: Male optical module - Product standard - specifies the characteristics of a male optical module for rectangular, modular, multicontact aerospace connectors using 1.25 mm ferrule optical contacts and a removable alignment sleeve holder. The document defines the product-level requirements needed to ensure mechanical fit, interface dimensions, and identification for modular optical connector modules used in aerospace electrical/optical equipment.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and intent: Product standard for male optical modules used in rectangular modular multipin connectors (aerospace applications).
- Dimensions and interface geometry: Detailed outer module dimensions and the optical contact position are specified to ensure correct mating and interchangeability with compatible connector shells and modules.
- Materials and surface treatment: Material and plating/surface treatment requirements are referenced to EN 4644-001 (electrical connector material guidance) to ensure suitable mechanical and environmental performance.
- Optical, mechanical and climatic characteristics: Performance and environmental requirements are covered by the related product and technical specifications (see EN 4639-002 and EN 4639-001). The standard notes that final performance depends on optical contact and fiber technology.
- Designation and marking: Defines a designation scheme for identification (standard number, module type, arrangement code, cavity A/B) and marking requirements including identification, manufacturing date (year/week), and manufacturer name or trademark (or EN 2424 code P where required).
- Normative references: EN 4639-001 (technical specification), EN 4639-002 (list of product standards), EN 4644-001, and EN 2424 are referenced as essential complements.
Practical applications
- Ensures mechanical and interface compatibility for modular optical connector systems in aircraft, satellites, and other aerospace platforms.
- Guides connector designers and OEMs when specifying or manufacturing male optical modules for rectangular modular connector systems.
- Used by procurement and quality assurance teams to verify product conformity, marking, and traceability.
- Supports test laboratories and certification bodies by referencing where optical, mechanical and climatic tests are defined (EN 4639-001/002).
- Helpful for system integrators and maintenance teams when selecting, replacing, or maintaining optical modules to maintain interoperability across vendors.
Who uses this standard
- Aerospace connector manufacturers and sub‑component suppliers
- Systems engineers and design teams in aerospace and defense
- Procurement, QA, and compliance personnel
- Test labs and certification authorities
