Overview
EN 3645-003:2015 is the CEN product standard that specifies the characteristics of square flange mounted receptacles within the family of circular, scoop‑proof electrical connectors using a triple‑start threaded coupling. The series is designed for continuous operating temperatures of 175 °C or 200 °C and is intended for aerospace applications where high‑temperature reliability, panel mounting and interchangeability are required. These connectors are derived from and interchangeable with MIL‑DTL‑38999/20.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Applies to models listed in Table 3 of the standard and covers mechanical dimensions, designation, marking and required characteristics for square flange receptacles.
- Temperature classes: Connectors are rated for continuous use at 175 °C or 200 °C depending on model and material selection.
- Materials and finishes: Model options in Table 3 include a range of shell materials and surface treatments, for example:
- J: cadmium‑plated composite, olive green - salt spray 2 000 h, crimp contacts, up to 175 °C
- W: cadmium‑plated aluminium alloy, olive green - salt spray 500 h, up to 175 °C
- Z: zinc‑nickel plated aluminium alloy, non‑reflective black - salt spray 500 h, up to 175 °C
- F: nickel‑plated aluminium alloy - up to 200 °C
- M: nickel‑plated composite - salt spray 2 000 h, up to 200 °C
- K: passivated stainless steel - salt spray 500 h, up to 200 °C
- Dimensions and panel cut‑outs: Detailed dimensions, tolerances and recommended panel cut‑outs are given in figures and tables; dimensions are in millimetres and shell size coding follows Table 4 (shell sizes 09–25 mapped to shell codes A–J).
- Designation and marking: The standard provides a designation format (example: EN3645‑F0GN16AA) and rules for marking consistent with EN 3645‑001.
Applications
EN 3645‑003 receptacles are intended for aerospace and defense electrical systems that require:
- Reliable high‑temperature operation (175 °C / 200 °C continuous)
- Panel or bulkhead mounting using a square flange
- Compatibility with mating plugs, contacts and accessories defined in the EN 3645 series
- Interchangeability with MIL‑DTL‑38999/20 series connectors for procurement or retrofit projects
Typical use cases include avionics equipment, power distribution panels and mission‑critical harness assemblies where scoop‑proof, threaded coupling and ruggedized mounting are required.
Related Standards
- EN 3645‑001 (Technical specification)
- EN 3645‑002 (Performance and contact arrangements)
- EN 3645‑006, ‑008, ‑011, ‑012 (Protective covers, plug types and accessories)
- MIL‑DTL‑38999/20 (interchange reference)
For designers and procurement specialists, EN 3645‑003:2015 is a practical specification to select square flange receptacles that meet dimensional, material and interface requirements for high‑temperature aerospace connector systems.
