Overview

EN 2997-003:2012 is a European standard developed by the CEN (European Committee for Standardization) that defines the product characteristics of aerospace electrical connectors with square flange receptacles. These connectors are circular, coupled by a threaded ring, and designed for fire-resistant or non-fire-resistant applications. The standard covers operating temperatures ranging from -65 °C to 175 °C continuous, 200 °C continuous, and up to 260 °C peak. It specifically focuses on square flange mounted receptacles within the family of these circular connectors.

This standard is vital for ensuring reliability, safety, and interoperability in aerospace electrical systems, particularly in critical environments requiring stringent fire resistance and temperature performance.

Key Topics

  • Connector Type: Square flange mounted receptacles, part of circular connectors coupled by threaded rings.
  • Operating Temperature Range:
    • -65 °C to 175 °C continuous
    • 200 °C continuous
    • 260 °C peak
  • Material Specifications:
    • Olive-green cadmium-plated aluminium alloy for class WS (500 h salt mist resistance)
    • Nickel-plated aluminium alloy for class RS (48 h salt mist resistance)
    • Passivated stainless steel for class S and SE, offering fire resistance and 500 h salt mist resistance
  • Connector Classes:
    • WS: Non-fire-resistant, 175 °C max continuous
    • RS: Non-fire-resistant, 200 °C max continuous
    • S: Fire-resistant, 200 °C max continuous
    • SE: Fire-resistant, 260 °C peak temperature
  • Dimensions and Mounting:
    • Detailed dimensions and tolerances for housings, panel cut-out, and mounting configurations ensure compatibility and ease of integration.
  • Contact Types:
    • Various contact arrangements delivered with or without contacts, including crimp contacts compliant with EN 3155 standards.
  • Marking Requirements:
    • Identity block with classification, date of manufacture, and manufacturer details for traceability.

Applications

EN 2997-003:2012 connectors are crucial in aerospace and defense electrical systems where reliability, fire-resistance, and high-temperature operation are mandatory. Common applications include:

  • Aircraft electrical wiring systems requiring robust circular connectors.
  • Aerospace control and instrumentation panels needing secure square flange mounting.
  • Environments where connectors must withstand harsh temperature extremes and corrosive conditions.
  • Systems demanding standardized connectors for interoperability and ease of maintenance.

These connectors support critical signal and power transmission in avionics, propulsion control, and safety systems, contributing to overall aircraft performance and safety.
