Overview
EN 3660-006:2010 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that specifies a family of cable outlets (rear accessories) for circular and rectangular electrical and optical connectors. It covers style C, self‑locking (anti‑decoupling), straight, shielded (cone grounding), unsealed cable outlets with a clamp strain relief. The standard defines geometry, material/finish classes, temperature ratings, screening termination, test requirements and designation/marking rules for use in aerospace electrical systems.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Cable outlets permitting termination of individual and/or overall screens with thickness from 0.8 mm to 4.8 mm. Associated electrical connector index: EN 3660-002.
- Temperature classes:
- Class N: −65 °C to 200 °C
- Class W: −65 °C to 175 °C
- Class K: −65 °C to 260 °C
- Materials & finishes:
- Class N: Aluminium / Electroless nickel
- Class W: Aluminium / Olive‑drab cadmium plate
- Class K: Stainless steel / Passivated
- Mechanical & electrical characteristics: dimensional drawings, shell sizes (08–28), assembly and coupling torque values, coupling thread strength, and allowable electrical continuity (max resistance 5 mΩ). Specific torque and strength tables are included for installation and test use.
- Shielding / cone grounding: design provisions for cone grounding (screen termination) and clamp forms integral to the outlet assembly.
- Testing & qualification: references EN 2591 series and EN 3660-001 for required tests (visual, dimensional, electrical continuity, surface transfer impedance, thermal, vibration, shock, salt mist, immersion, mechanical endurance, magnetic permeability, etc.). Test severities vary by class (e.g., Class K flame/fire considerations).
- Designation & marking: part‑numbering format and example (e.g., EN3660-006N08W indicates style C, aluminium electroless nickel, shell size 08, with wire lock holes).
Applications and users
- Primary users: aerospace OEMs, connector and cable‑outlet manufacturers, design engineers, qualification/test laboratories, procurement and quality assurance teams in avionics and space systems.
- Typical applications: backshells and cable termination on aircraft and spacecraft harnesses where controlled shielding (cone grounding), mechanical strain relief and anti‑decoupling are required under demanding temperature and environmental conditions.
