Overview

EN 3155-059:2006 is a CEN/Aerospace series product standard that specifies the characteristics, tests and tooling for size 16, female coaxial electrical contacts, type D, solder, class R used in elements of connection per EN 3155-002. These contacts are derived from MIL-C-39029/77 and are intermateable with associated MIL and EN male contacts (EN 3155-058). The standard is intended to be used together with EN 3155-001 (technical specification).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Contact type & rating
    • Size: 16 (female coaxial), Type D, solder, Class R (operating temperature −65 °C to +150 °C).
    • Contact mass: ≤ 0.7 g.
  • Materials and finish
    • Body: copper alloy with gold plating on suitable undercoat.
    • Dielectric: ETFE fluoropolymer.
    • Heatshrink: radiation-crosslinked PVDF.
    • Solder rings: Sn63 (per QQ‑S‑571).
  • Cable compatibility
    • Permissible cable codes: XE, XY, WL (per TR 6058).
    • Key dimensional ranges (examples from Table 1): shield Ø 1.67–2.13 mm; dielectric Ø 0.91–1.72 mm; conductor Ø 0.22–0.58 mm.
  • Termination tooling
    • Hot-air generator: ≥ 800 W usable, heating zone (420 ± 20) °C; positioner and cable clamp specified for reliable soldering and shrink application.
    • Insertion/extraction tools referenced: MIL‑I‑81969 variants.
  • Testing and inspection
    • Test matrix references EN 2591 methods and EN 3155‑001. Typical mandatory tests include:
      • Visual, dimensional and mass checks (EN 2591‑101/102)
      • Contact resistance (low level and at rated current)
      • Insulation resistance and dielectric voltage proof
      • Vibration (sinusoidal and random) and shock (discontinuity ≤ 100 ns)
      • Thermal endurance (1 000 h at −150 °C listed in standard table)
      • Fluid resistance, salt mist, solderability, mechanical endurance, insertion/extraction force and gauge checks

Practical applications and users

  • Applications
    • Aerospace and defence electrical and RF connections where compact, shielded coaxial interfaces are required: aircraft wiring harnesses, avionics connectors, and series MIL/EN-compatible connector systems.
  • Who uses this standard
    • Connector and contact manufacturers, aerospace OEMs, harness assemblers, test laboratories and procurement/specification engineers who require defined mechanical, electrical and environmental performance for soldered female coaxial contacts.

Related standards

  • EN 3155-001 - Technical specification (use together)
  • EN 3155-002 - List and utilization of contacts
  • EN 3155-058 - Associated male coaxial contact (size 16, type D)
  • EN 2591 (all parts) - Test methods referenced
  • MIL-C-39029/76 & /77 - Source/compatibility references

This standard ensures interchangeability, environmental robustness and defined testability for aerospace-grade coaxial contacts. For procurement or design, reference EN 3155‑059 when specifying solder-type size 16 female coaxial contacts in aerospace systems.
