Overview
EN 3218-009:2006 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that specifies the characteristics of protective covers (protective caps/plugs) for rectangular connectors with metallic shells and screw-locking. It applies specifically to covers for connectors manufactured to EN 3218-005 and EN 3218-007. The standard defines material, finish, dimensional and designation requirements to ensure mechanical and interface compatibility with the corresponding connector plugs and receptacles.
Key topics
- Scope and purpose
- Defines protective covers intended to protect the mating zone and contacts of EN 3218-005 and EN 3218-007 connectors during storage, handling and unmated periods.
- Materials and finish
- Covers shall be made of a metallic alloy of the same type and have the same surface finish as the connector they mate with (see EN 3218-002 for surface finish details).
- Interfaces and mating zones
- Mating zone definitions follow EN 3218-001; covers must be dimensionally compatible with these zones.
- Dimensions and tolerances
- Dimensions are given in millimetres with specified tolerances:
- Size 1: A = 50.80 ±0.15, B = 44.45 ±0.20, C = 9.65 ±0.20
- Size 2: A = 76.20 ±0.15, B = 69.85 ±0.20, C = 9.65 ±0.20
- Dimensions are given in millimetres with specified tolerances:
- Designation and marking
- Example identity code format: EN3218T1CF11 (contains basic standard number, cover model, housing size, finish and contact arrangement). Marking and full technical specifications reference EN 3218-001.
- Normative references
- Relies on EN 2591-100 (test methods), EN 3218-001 and EN 3218-002 for related connector definitions, and the product standards EN 3218-005 and EN 3218-007 for the connector types covered.
Applications
- Suitable for aerospace manufacturers, connector designers, procurement/specification engineers, maintenance/repair organizations (MRO) and quality assurance teams who:
- Specify or purchase protective covers for rectangular, screw-locked aerospace connectors.
- Require assured compatibility between connector shells and protective devices for storage, transport, and downtime on aircraft and equipment.
- Need a standardized designation and marking system to manage inventory and replacement parts.
