Overview

EN 3682-007:2013 is a CEN (ASD‑STAN) product standard that defines the Size 3 plug within the EN 3682 family of aerospace rectangular electrical connectors. These connectors are rack-to-panel, use interchangeable inserts, and are rated for continuous operation at 150 °C. EN 3682-007 specifies the plug geometry, mounting features, marking and designation rules needed to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability with the corresponding Size 3 receptacle (EN 3682-006).

Key topics

  • Scope and purpose
    • Defines the Size 3 plug for rackable rectangular connectors with interchangeable inserts for aerospace use.
    • Ensures compatibility with the Size 3 receptacle specified in EN 3682-006.
  • Mechanical characteristics
    • Dimensional requirements are provided in millimetres (mating face, flange and panel cut‑out drawings).
    • Panel cut-out and mounting hole layouts are specified (illustrated hole diameters around ~4 mm in the published figures).
    • Fastening details include flange screw type (e.g., Philips screw 4‑40 UNC 2A) and insert retention devices (multiple retention points on the flange).
  • Designation and marking
    • Example designation format: EN 3682 - P - 3 - 200 - A - 01 - L (identifies standard reference, housing type, size, insert code, coax/triaxial grounding option, polarization and contact delivery).
    • Marking must show housing identification, date of manufacture (year–week), and manufacturer name or trademark. Polarization code is omitted from marking when code = 00.
  • Reference technical requirements
    • Functional performance and contact arrangements refer to EN 3682-001 and EN 3682-002 for technical specification and performance criteria.
    • ISO 263 is cited for screw thread dimensions where applicable.

Applications

EN 3682-007 is intended for:

  • Aerospace manufacturers and suppliers specifying rack-to-panel electrical connections in aircraft and spacecraft.
  • Design and procurement engineers who require interchangeable, high-temperature connector solutions (up to 150 °C continuous).
  • Maintenance, avionic integration and systems engineering teams needing consistent mechanical and marking conventions for replacement parts, testing and lifecycle traceability.
  • OEMs and subcontractors involved in avionics racks, engine bay harnessing, and other high-temperature equipment enclosures.
