Overview
EN 3733-002:2008 is a European standard established by the Committee for European Normalization (CEN), focusing on aerospace-grade circular optical connectors. It provides a comprehensive list of product standards applicable to single-channel, circular optical connectors coupled by a vibration-proof self-locking ring, designed for continuous operation at temperatures up to 150 °C. The standard supports a variety of fiber and cable types, making it essential for aerospace applications requiring reliable and high-performance optical connections under demanding conditions.
This standard complements the technical specification EN 3733-001 by detailing compatible product standards, ensuring consistency and interoperability across the aerospace optical connector ecosystem.
Key Topics
Scope and Purpose
Defines the conditions for single-way fiber optic connectors with self-locking coupling rings, suitable for aerospace environments with operating temperatures ranging from -65 °C to 150 °C continuously.Product Type and Codification
Provides a structured codification of product parts linked to specific cable/fiber types (e.g., 200 µm/280 µm optical fibers). Product types include plug connectors, receptacles with different fixing methods (four-hole, two-hole, jam nut), ferrules, sub-assemblies, protective covers, dummy connectors, terminators, strain relief boots, and epoxy components.Compatibility and Combinations
Specifies permissible combinations of plugs, receptacles, sub-assemblies, and ferrules that guarantee required performance. Protective covers are also matched with relevant connectors to maintain functional integrity and environmental protection.Operating Conditions
Covers climatic tolerances such as wide operating temperature range (-65 °C to 150 °C) and resistance to salt mist (500 hours) and various fluids, ensuring durability in harsh aerospace environments. Mechanical endurance is rated for 500 mating/unmating cycles, supporting reliable long-term use.Normative References
Lists related standards like EN 3733-001 through EN 3733-109, EN 4532 (for cables), and the EN 4533-001 handbook on termination methods and tools, providing a holistic framework for design, assembly, and installation.
Applications
EN 3733-002:2008 is specifically tailored for aerospace and defense sectors where robust, reliable fiber optic communication is critical.
- Aerospace Electrical Systems: Used in communication, navigation, and flight control systems requiring high-temperature resistant optical connectors.
- Fiber Optic Networks in Aircraft: Supporting high-performance data transmission with vibration resistance and secure locking mechanisms.
- Harsh Environment Connectivity: Aerospace series connectors meeting resistance to corrosion, fluids, and harsh temperature extremes.
- Standardized Assembly and Installation: Integration with aerospace manufacturing processes aligned with referenced product standards and tooling guidelines.
This standard’s structured approach ensures product interoperability, system reliability, and safety compliance-key concerns in aerospace applications where connectivity failure is not an option.
