Overview
EN 3682-008:2013 is a CEN product standard that defines the Size 4 receptacle in the aerospace family of rectangular electrical connectors for rack-to-panel applications with interchangeable inserts and continuous operating temperature 150 °C. The document specifies the receptacle form, identification, marking and the dimensional requirements necessary to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability with the corresponding Size 4 plug (see EN 3682-009). EN 3682-008:2013 supersedes the 2006 edition and was prepared under ASD‑STAN and approved by CEN.
Key topics
- Scope and applicability: Defines the Size 4 receptacle used in rack-to-panel, interchangeable-insert connector families for aerospace applications.
- Dimensions and mating faces: Front mating-face geometry, hole patterns and flange details are provided (figures and millimetre dimensions referenced in the standard) to ensure mechanical interchangeability.
- Panel cut-out and mounting: Recommended panel cut-out, mounting hole positions and related tolerances for panel installation are specified.
- Designation and marking: Standardized part-number format (EN 3682 - R - 4 - …), housing type, polarization codes, contact delivery options and mandatory markings such as date of manufacture and manufacturer trademark.
- Referenced technical specifications: Cross-references to EN 3682-001 (technical specification), EN 3682-002 (performance and contact arrangements) and EN 3682-009 (Size 4 plug). ISO 263 is cited for screw thread details.
- Compliance notes: Indicates national adoption requirements and draws attention to potential patent issues.
Applications
EN 3682-008:2013 is intended for:
- Aerospace component designers specifying rack-to-panel rectangular connectors with interchangeable inserts.
- Electrical and mechanical engineers responsible for connector selection, panel design and installation in aircraft and spacecraft systems.
- Procurement and quality teams verifying supplier conformity to a recognized aerospace connector product standard.
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) teams ensuring correct replacement parts and traceable marking information.
Practical benefits include assured mechanical and electrical interchangeability, consistent panel cut-outs, and clear part designation for procurement and configuration management.
