Overview

EN 4165-018:2015 is a CEN product standard for protective covers (protective caps) used with receptacles series 2 in the EN 4165 family of aerospace, rectangular, modular electrical connectors. It defines the form, designation, marking and required characteristics of protective covers designed for continuous operation up to 175 °C. The standard complements connector accessory body standards (EN 4165-004, EN 4165-011 and EN 4165-025) and links to the EN 4165 technical specifications.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and purpose: protective covers for all receptacles series 2 in the EN 4165 connector family.
  • Operating temperature: covers rated for continuous use at 175 °C (as per the EN 4165 series).
  • Types and sizes:
    • Designs for 2-module, 4-module and single-module receptacles (illustrated in the standard).
    • Mass limits published (e.g., max 18.5 g for 2-module, 22 g for 4-module, 11 g for single module).
  • Functional elements:
    • Unlosable cord, optional cord lengths and eyelet/hole diameters (specifications given for mounting or retention).
    • Seal (sealing device) and shield/grounding device options for environmental protection and electromagnetic continuity.
  • Material/finish classes:
    • Class W: aluminium alloy, olive drab cadmium plated, 500 h salt mist resistance.
    • Class F: aluminium alloy, black nickel plated, 96 h salt mist resistance.
    • Class M: composite housing with nickel plating, 500 h salt mist resistance.
  • Designation and marking: standard provides a clear identity block format (examples like EN4165F3B2G15) and requires marking in accordance with EN 2424 (category P) unless otherwise specified.
  • Normative references: links into EN 4165-001/002 for technical specification and performance/contact arrangements.

Applications and users

  • Who uses it: aerospace OEMs, connector manufacturers, electrical harness designers, maintenance and repair organizations, procurement teams and systems integrators working with EN 4165 series connectors.
  • Practical value:
    • Ensures compatibility between protective covers and series 2 receptacles.
    • Prescribes environmental resistance and retention features for operational reliability on aircraft and aerospace platforms.
    • Supports procurement and quality control by standardizing designation, marking and physical characteristics.
