Overview

EN 3682-009:2013 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that defines the Size 4 plug for rectangular, interchangeable-insert electrical connectors used in rack-to-panel installations. Designed for continuous operation up to 150 °C, this standard specifies the plug’s dimensions, designation, marking and basic technical characteristics. The mating receptacle is defined separately in EN 3682-008. EN 3682-009:2013 supersedes the 2006 edition and is part of a family of standards for high-temperature aerospace connectors.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and compatibility
    • Applies to the Size 4 plug in the EN 3682 rack-to-panel connector family; corresponding receptacle in EN 3682-008.
    • Terms and definitions referenced from EN 3682-001.
  • Dimensions and mechanical details
    • Detailed front mating-face, flange and panel cut-out dimensions are provided (figures show dimensions in millimetres).
    • Drawings include cavity locations, insert retention devices and screw/mounting features (e.g., Philips 4-40 UNC screws, multiple mounting holes).
  • Panel cut-out and mounting
    • Recommended panel cut-out and mounting hole patterns are specified for reliable rack-to-panel installation.
  • Designation and marking
    • Standardized connector designation format (e.g., EN 3682 - P - 4 - 200 - A - 01 - L) covers housing type, size, insert combination code, polarization and contact delivery.
    • Marking requirements include housing ID, date of manufacture (year–week), manufacturer name/trademark and cavity identification.
  • Technical specification and references
    • Technical performance and contact arrangements are covered by related parts (notably EN 3682-001 and EN 3682-002).
    • Normative references include EN 3682-001, EN 3682-002, EN 3682-008 and ISO 263 for screw thread data.

Applications

  • Use for aerospace electrical systems requiring modular, rack-mounted connectors able to withstand continuous operation at elevated temperatures (150 °C).
  • Typical applications include avionics racks, electronic equipment panels, ground-support equipment and high-reliability aerospace installations where interchangeable inserts simplify maintenance and configuration.

Who should use this standard

  • Aerospace component designers and connector manufacturers specifying Size 4 plugs.
  • Systems engineers, procurement and quality teams ensuring interchangeability and compliance in rack-to-panel assemblies.
  • Maintenance, test laboratories and certification bodies validating mechanical fit, marking and panel integration.
