Overview
EN 4701-003:2013 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that specifies the characteristics of Module Series 2 for rectangular, modular optical connectors (family EN 4165) designed for EN 4531-101 optical termini. It covers the physical interface, identification and marking, and links to the applicable material, mechanical and climatic requirements. The modules are specified for an operating temperature of 125 °C and intended for aerospace electrical/optical systems where modular rectangular connectors are used.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and purpose: Defines module characteristics for EN 4531-101 optical termini within the EN 4165 modular rectangular connector family.
- Dimensions and masses:
- Male interface and female interface dimensions are defined (figures referenced in the standard) with tolerances in millimetres.
- Maximum mass: Male module 4.70 g, Female module 6.20 g.
- Interface features include guiding pin, interfacial seal, centring cavity and coding location; an optional sealed design is provided.
- Material and surface treatment: Specified by reference to EN 4701-002 (do not invent materials; the standard points to EN 4701-002 for those details).
- Optical, mechanical and climatic characteristics: Referenced to EN 4701-001 for performance and environmental requirements.
- Designation format: Example format shown (e.g., OPTICAL MODULES EN4701A04ELXXX) describing module series, cavity count, termini type (EN 4531-101), sealing, polarization and gender (male/female).
- Marking requirements: Identification per Clause 5, date of manufacture (year, week), and manufacturer name/trademark or EN 2424 code P.
- Normative references: Includes EN 4165-003, EN 4531-101, EN 4701-001, EN 4701-002, EN 2424 among others.
Applications and Who Uses It
- Aerospace connector designers specifying modular optical modules for aircraft and spaceborne equipment.
- Harness and systems integrators ensuring mechanical and environmental compatibility with EN 4165 connector systems.
- Connector manufacturers and suppliers producing EN 4701-compliant optical modules for EN 4531-101 termini.
- Procurement and quality engineers using the standard for part identification, ordering, and conformance checks.
- Typical applications: avionics backplanes, modular I/O panels, flight-critical optical data links and other aerospace installations requiring interchangeability and high-temperature operation (125 °C).
