Overview

EN 3660-008:2010 is a CEN product standard in the aerospace series that specifies a range of 45° self-locking cable outlets (style C) for circular and rectangular electrical and optical connectors. The standard defines unsealed, shielded outlets using cone grounding and a clamp strain relief, allowing the termination of individual and/or overall screens with thicknesses from 0.8 mm to 4.8 mm. Temperature classes covered are Class N (−65 °C to 200 °C), Class W (−65 °C to 175 °C) and Class K (−65 °C to 260 °C).

Key Topics

  • Product scope and designation: Clear rules for part numbering and identification (example: EN3660-008N08W).
  • Mechanical features: Anti-decoupling coupling nut, captive but rotatable, integrated clamp forms and optional wire-lock holes.
  • Shielding method: Cone grounding (shield termination) to ensure electrical continuity and controlled surface transfer impedance.
  • Screen termination: Accepts individual/overall screens thickness 0.8–4.8 mm, with allowances for screen thickness in dimensional data.
  • Materials & finishes: Specified by temperature class-Aluminium with electroless nickel (Class N), Aluminium with olive drab cadmium plate (Class W), Stainless steel passivated (Class K).
  • Torque and strength: Assembly and test torques are specified for installation and qualification; coupling thread strength and bending moments are defined per shell size.
  • Tests & qualification: Reference to EN 2591 series and EN 3660-001 for test methods including electrical continuity, surface transfer impedance, shock, vibration, salt mist, and mechanical endurance.

Applications

  • Retrofit and new-design aerospace electrical harness terminations where a 45° exit is required to manage routing and strain relief.
  • Use cases demanding robust shielding and cone-type grounding for EMI control in aircraft and spaceborne systems.
  • Environments with wide temperature ranges: select material/finish class (N, W, K) to meet thermal and corrosion resistance requirements.

Practical benefits:

  • Reliable EMI performance via cone grounding and defined surface transfer attenuation.
  • Mechanical retention and anti-decoupling for secure connector assemblies in high-vibration aerospace contexts.
  • Traceable specification aligned with ASD-STAN/CEN common aerospace connector accessory families.

Related Standards

  • EN 3660-001:2006 - Technical specification for cable outlet accessories (normative reference).
  • EN 3660-002 - Associated electrical connector index and interface details.
  • EN 2591 (parts referenced) - Aerospace test methods used for qualification (electrical/mechanical/environmental tests).
  • AS85049B - Connector accessories general specification (informative cross-reference).

For design and procurement, specify the correct shell size, material/finish class, and variant (wire-lock holes or not) per EN 3660-008:2010, and follow EN 3660-001 and EN 2591 series for test and qualification procedures.
