Overview

EN 3660-019:2009 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that specifies a family of cable outlets (backshells), style A, 45°, unsealed, with cable tie (clamp) strain relief for use with circular and rectangular electrical and optical connectors. The standard defines dimensions, materials/finishes, assembly torques, test requirements and marking rules for these 45° unsealed cable outlets used in aerospace electrical and optical harnessing.

Key Topics

  • Scope and compatibility
    • Covers style A, 45° cable outlet accessories; associated connectors referenced in EN 3660-002.
  • Dimensions and interface
    • Detailed dimensional data and tolerances (shell sizes 09–25) are given in figures and tables; interface dimensions specified for proper mating.
  • Materials and finish classes
    • Backshell material: aluminium with class finishes: Class A (black anodised), Class N (electroless nickel), Class W (olive-drab cadmium).
    • Spacer pad material: silicone.
  • Strain relief variants
    • Options with/without spacer pad and ground lug; cable tie (lace cord) clamp type strain relief.
  • Assembly torque
    • Installation torque values are specified per shell size (examples: shell 09 = 7.8 Nm, shell 11 = 10.6 Nm, shell 25 = 19.1 Nm).
  • Testing and qualification
    • Test schedule references EN 3660-001 and EN 2591-100 covering visual, dimensional, electrical continuity, surface transfer impedance, temperature cycling, salt mist, shock, vibration, flammability, mechanical strength and more.
  • Designation and marking
    • Product designation format and examples (e.g., EN3660-019A1A09) are provided; marking to EN 2424 (category P).

Applications

  • Used by avionics and aerospace harness designers, connector and backshell manufacturers, systems integrators and procurement/qualification engineers.
  • Typical applications:
    • Strain-relieved cable exits on circular/rectangular electrical and optical connectors in aircraft and aerospace platforms.
    • Environments requiring defined material finishes, controlled electromagnetic properties, and validated mechanical/environmental performance.
  • Roles that rely on this standard:
    • Design engineers (mechanical and electrical), quality assurance, test labs, and purchasing teams specifying compliant cable outlets for aerospace systems.

Related Standards

  • EN 3660-001 - Technical specification for cable outlet accessories (referenced for tests and general rules)
  • EN 3660-002 - Index of product standards and associated connector references
  • EN 2591-100 - Test methods for electrical and optical connection elements
  • EN 2424 - Marking of aerospace products

This standard is essential for ensuring compatibility, mechanical integrity, and environmental performance of 45° unsealed cable outlets in aerospace connector systems. Keywords: EN 3660-019:2009, cable outlet, backshell, 45°, strain relief, aerospace connectors, unsealed.
