Overview
EN 3660-022:2008 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that defines a family of cable outlets (backshells), straight, style A, composite, unsealed, with cable tie strain relief for use with circular and rectangular electrical and optical connectors. The standard covers dimensional, material and performance requirements for cable outlets intended to be used with the associated electrical connector series referenced in EN 3660-002, and for Temperature Class P (−55 °C to 200 °C) service.
Key topics and requirements
- Product description: Straight, Style A cable outlet made of composite (natural colour), unplated, and fitted with cable tie or lacing cord strain relief.
- Compatibility: Interface details and shell-sizing correspond to EN 3660-002 and the AS85049 interface standard for connector accessories.
- Dimensions & shell sizes: Defined shell sizes (example sizes 08 through 24) with associated thread types (UNEF) and specific dimensional limits given in the standard.
- Material & finish: Composite material, natural colour, unplated (Material Class P).
- Assembly and test torques: Published installation (assembly) torque guidance for each shell size (typical assembly torque range approx. 2.2 Nm up to 9.0 Nm) and separate coupling-thread strength torques for test purposes.
- Mechanical and environmental tests: Qualification and test program referencing EN 2591 and EN 3660-001, including visual and dimensional checks, temperature endurance (1 000 h at 200 °C for Class P), rapid temperature change, shock, sinusoidal and random vibration, salt mist, sand and dust, immersion at low air pressure, fluid resistance, flammability, mechanical endurance, mating/unmating forces and other mechanical strength tests.
- Identification & designation: Example part identifier format-EN3660-022P08 (standard number + material/finish class + shell size). Marking rules reference EN 3660-001.
Practical applications
- Cable management and strain relief on aerospace harnesses and equipment using circular/rectangular electrical or optical connectors.
- Backshell/connector rear accessory for aircraft, spacecraft and high-reliability airborne systems requiring high-temperature performance (−55 °C to 200 °C).
- Used by connector manufacturers, aerospace component suppliers, system integrators, wiring-harness designers, test/qualification laboratories and procurement/specification teams selecting compliant connector accessories.
Who should use this standard
- Aerospace engineers specifying connector accessories and backshells
- Manufacturers producing composite cable outlets and connector accessories
- Test labs performing EN 2591/EN 3660 series qualification
- Procurement and quality teams vetting parts for airworthiness and environmental requirements
