Overview
EN 3682-003:2012 is the CEN product standard that defines inserts for the aerospace rectangular, interchangeable-insert connectors specified in the EN 3682 series. These rack-to-panel electrical connectors are rated for continuous operation at 150 °C. Part 003 focuses specifically on the geometry, designation and marking of plug and receptacle inserts (including metallic inserts and arrangements with size 22 and non-size-22 contact cavities).
Key facts:
- Full title: Aerospace series - Connectors, plug and receptacle, electrical, rectangular, interchangeable insert type, rack to panel, operating temperature 150 °C continuous - Part 003: Inserts.
- Prepared under ASD-STAN and adopted by CEN (approved February 2012).
- Normative references include EN 3682 (all parts) and EN 3682‑001 for terms/definitions.
Key Topics
This standard provides the mandatory product details and drawings that ensure mechanical and identification interoperability:
- Insert interface dimensions: Detailed interface dimensions and diagrams for inserts with size 22 contact cavities and for inserts without size 22 cavities (figures and tables specify A–G, cord and inside diameters).
- Metallic insert dimensions: Specific dimensional data and optional geometry notes for metallic inserts.
- Required characteristics: Interface geometry, grommet/interfacial seal placement (pin vs socket inserts), and dimensional limits are defined.
- Designation system: Prescribes a standard designation format (example: EN 3682 - 1 - P - 70 - C1 - G - L) to describe insert type, housing, contact counts and delivery condition.
- Marking requirements: Inserts must be marked with the standard-based identification, date of manufacture (year–week) and manufacturer name or trademark.
- Reference to technical specification: Detailed performance/test requirements are covered in EN 3682-001.
Applications and Users
Who uses EN 3682-003:2012 and why:
- Connector manufacturers: to design and produce inserts that are mechanically interchangeable and comply with aerospace rack-to-panel connector families.
- Aerospace OEMs and integrators: to select compatible inserts for high-temperature avionics and environmental control systems.
- Maintenance/repair organizations and procurement teams: to verify part markings, traceability (date/manufacturer), and ensure correct insert type and contact delivery state (with or without contacts).
- Standards and compliance engineers: to ensure components meet CEN/ASD-STAN requirements for interoperability and documentation.
Practical benefits:
- Ensures mechanical interchangeability and correct mating between plug and receptacle inserts.
- Supports high-temperature applications up to 150 °C continuous operation.
- Facilitates traceability and supplier communication via standardized designation and marking.
