Overview
EN 3708-002:2006 - part of the Aerospace series - is the performance specification for terminal junction systems used in modular interconnection systems. It defines the general characteristics and required performance for terminal junction modules (sealed or unsealed) intended to work with EN 3708-001 technical specifications. The standard is aimed at ensuring consistent electrical, mechanical and climatic performance for modular aerospace connectors and junction modules.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope: General characteristics of terminal junction systems for modular interconnection systems; covers both sealed and unsealed module versions and allows interconnection diagrams as defined in product standards.
- Authorized cable dimensions (external diameter):
- Contact size 22: 0.72 – 1.37 mm
- Contact size 20: 0.85 – 2.10 mm
- Contact size 16: 1.20 – 2.62 mm
- Contact size 12: 1.90 – 4.01 mm
- Electrical requirements:
- Insulation resistance at ambient temperature: 5 000 MΩ
- Voltage proof test: 1 500 V r.m.s., 50 Hz at sea level
- Nominal allowable contact currents (at extreme temperature 175 °C):
- Size 22: 5 A
- Size 20: 7.5 A
- Size 16: 13 A
- Size 12: 23 A
- Thermal derating and warming limits referenced to EN 2591‑209
- Climatic category:-55 °C to 175 °C
- Contacts and accessories: Contacts per EN 3155‑016; filler plugs per EN 4008‑003.
- Normative references: Includes EN 2083, EN 2591 series, EN 3155‑016, EN 3708‑001 and others required for correct application.
Applications and Users
EN 3708-002:2006 is used by:
- Aerospace manufacturers and systems integrators when specifying modular interconnection systems and terminal junction modules.
- Electrical and avionics engineers designing, selecting, or validating connector layouts and junction modules for aircraft wiring harnesses.
- Component and connector suppliers to ensure products meet required performance specifications (electrical, thermal, climatic).
- Maintenance, procurement and certification teams preparing compliance documentation, procurement specifications, and acceptance tests.
Practical uses include designing junction modules to match cable sizes and current ratings, specifying insulation and voltage test requirements, and selecting appropriate contacts and filler plugs for sealed/unsealed modules.
