Overview - EN 3155-003:2019 (Aerospace electrical contacts)

EN 3155-003:2019 is a CEN product standard for aerospace electrical contacts - specifically female contacts, Type A, crimp, Class S used in elements of connection. It defines required characteristics, dimensional data, marking, permissible cables, tooling and test requirements for connector contacts intended for aerospace applications. This standard is to be used together with EN 3155-001 (technical specification) and EN 3155-002 (list and utilization of contacts); associated male contacts are covered by EN 3155-008.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Contact class and operating range: Class S contacts are rated for an operating temperature range of −65 °C to 200 °C; Type A is for general application.
  • Dimensions & tolerances: Detailed dimensioning (sizes #22, #20, #16, #12, #10) and mass values are specified; dimensions are given in millimetres and apply after surface treatment.
  • Material & plating: Contact bodies are copper alloy with gold surface treatment over an appropriate undercoat; plating thickness and selective protection reference EN 3155-001.
  • Marking / color coding: Colour identification bands follow ISO 8843, with specific two‑band schemes (and single-band alternative) to identify contact/barrel sizes.
  • Permissible cables & currents: Tables list compatible conductor sizes (metric and AWG equivalents) and rated test currents for each contact size.
  • Tooling:
    • Crimping tools conforming to SAE‑AS22520 with selector numbers referenced (see TR references).
    • Insertion/extraction tools conforming to SAE‑AS81969.
    • Applicable crimping tool technical reports: TR 4837 / TR 4843.
  • Testing: Tests reference EN 2591 (test methods) and EN 3155-001. Contacts are tested installed in EN 4165 or EN 3545 connectors as specified, with sampling and test arrangements defined.

Practical applications and who uses this standard

  • Connector and contact manufacturers designing and qualifying aerospace connector contacts.
  • Aerospace systems engineers specifying robust, temperature-rated crimp contacts for aircraft and space platforms.
  • Quality, test and qualification laboratories performing acceptance and environmental testing (mechanical, electrical, thermal).
  • Procurement and certification teams ensuring components meet CEN/ASD-STAN aerospace product standards.
  • Maintenance and repair organizations specifying approved contact types and tooling for field service.

Related standards

  • EN 3155-001 (technical specification) - to be used together with this standard
  • EN 3155-002 (list and utilization of contacts)
  • EN 3155-008 (male contacts, Type A, crimp, Class S)
  • EN 2591 series (test methods), EN 4165, EN 3545 (connector standards)
  • SAE‑AS22520 (crimp tools), SAE‑AS81969 (insertion/extraction tools), ISO 8843 (identification)

This concise reference helps engineers, manufacturers and procurement teams apply EN 3155-003:2019 when selecting, producing or testing aerospace female Type A crimp contacts.
