Overview
EN 3660-015:2008 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that defines 45° cable outlets (style A), unsealed, with cable tie strain relief for circular and rectangular electrical and optical connectors. These cable outlet accessories are specified for use with the associated connector family (see EN 3660-002) and are designed for aerospace environments with defined temperature classes and mechanical interfaces.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Product form and function
- Cable outlet, style A, 45° elbow, unsealed, fitted with an area for cable tie or lacing cord (cable tie strain relief).
- Available for shell sizes 08, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 with corresponding UNEF coupling threads.
- Materials and finishes
- Class N: Aluminium with electroless nickel finish.
- Class W: Aluminium with olive-drab cadmium plate.
- Spacer pad: fluorosilicone (green).
- Environmental ratings
- Class N temperature range: −65 °C to 200 °C.
- Class W temperature range: −65 °C to 175 °C.
- Mechanical and interface details
- Interface dimensions conform to the standard AS85049 interface and the EN 3660 series index (EN 3660-002).
- Dimensions, mass, and thread information are provided in figures and tables within the standard.
- Assembly and testing
- Assembly torque and coupling thread strength torques are specified for installation and test purposes (reference EN 2591 series for test methods).
- Qualification and environmental/mechanical tests (visual, dimensional, continuity, temperature cycling, salt mist for variant A, vibration, shock, mechanical endurance, mating/unmating forces, etc.) are referenced to EN 3660-001 and EN 2591.
Applications and users
- Typical applications
- Aerospace wiring harnesses where a 45° unsealed outlet with cable tie strain relief is required to route electrical or optical cables from circular or rectangular connectors.
- Use on airframe systems, avionics equipment panels, harness breakout points and repair/retrofit assemblies.
- Who uses this standard
- Aerospace component manufacturers, connector and accessory designers, electrical/avionics engineers, quality and test laboratories, and procurement/specification teams responsible for connector accessories and harness components.
