Overview
prEN 4165-009 is a CEN draft product standard in the EN 4165 family for aerospace electrical rectangular modular connectors. Titled “Aerospace series - Connectors, electrical, rectangular, modular - Operating temperature 175 °C continuous - Part 009: Rack and panel plug for 2 and 4 modules,” it defines the rack and panel plug form for 2‑ and 4‑module configurations used with the EN 4165 connector family. The document is prepared by ASD‑STAN and references the EN 4165 technical and performance parts.
Note: the title references series 3 while Clause 1 of the draft refers to series 2; the standard otherwise focuses on the rack/panel plug variant for 2 and 4 modules in the EN 4165 family.
Key topics
- Operating temperature: designed for continuous service at 175 °C, suitable for high‑temperature aerospace environments.
- Plug types and dimensions: detailed geometries and dimensional drawings are provided for 2‑module and 4‑module rack plugs (figures in the standard).
- Material and finishes (classes): three housing (shell) classes are specified:
- W: olive‑drab cadmium plated aluminium alloy, conductive finish, 500 h salt‑mist resistance, max 175 °C.
- F: black nickel plated aluminium alloy, 96 h salt‑mist resistance, max 175 °C.
- A: black anodised aluminium alloy, 48 h salt‑mist resistance, non‑conductive finish, max 175 °C.
- Marking and designation: required marking includes the identity block per Clause 6, date of manufacture (year‑week), and manufacturer name/trademark. An example designation format is provided.
- Normative references: relies on EN 4165‑001 (technical specification) and EN 4165‑002 (performance and contact arrangements); technical specification details are covered by EN 4165‑001.
Applications
- Use in avionics racks and panels, airborne electronic equipment and modular systems requiring high‑temperature connector operation.
- Targeted for connector manufacturers, aerospace systems designers, procurement, quality and certification teams specifying or producing rectangular modular plugs and mating receptacles (receptacles defined in EN 4165‑002).
- Useful where corrosion resistance class, finish, and high continuous operating temperature are critical (engine bays, environmental control systems, power distribution units).
