Overview

EN 3645-004:2019 is a European standard published by CEN that specifies the product requirements for hermetic, square flange mounted receptacles within the aerospace series of electrical circular connectors. These connectors feature a scoop-proof design with a triple start threaded coupling and are rated for continuous operation at elevated temperatures of 175 °C or 200 °C. The standard applies specifically to models compatible with MIL-DTL-38999/21 connectors, ensuring interchangeability and high reliability in demanding aerospace and defense environments.

This product standard supports robust, high-performance, hermetically sealed connectors designed to withstand extreme temperature and environmental conditions, ensuring optimal electrical connection integrity in aerospace applications.

Key Topics

  • Connector Design

    • Circular electrical connectors with a square flange mounting interface
    • Hermetic sealing to prevent contamination and maintain performance in harsh conditions
    • Triple start threaded coupling for secure, rapid connection
  • Operating Temperatures

    • Rated for continuous use at 175 °C or 200 °C
    • Suitable for aerospace applications where thermal endurance is critical
  • Mechanical and Dimensional Specifications

    • Detailed dimensional tolerances for shell sizes 09 to 25
    • Recommended panel cut-out dimensions and mounting instructions for front or rear panel installation
    • Material composition primarily stainless steel with passivation treatment for corrosion resistance
  • Electrical and Climatic Characteristics

    • Foundational electrical performance and contact arrangement specifications referenced per EN 3645-002
    • Non-removable, soldered termination contacts designed for secure electrical integrity
  • Model Coding and Marking

    • Standardized designation system for easy identification and procurement
    • Model Y defined as hermetic receptacle with solder contacts rated for 200 °C continuous operation
