Overview
EN 4620:2010 is a CEN (Aerospace series) design standard for inserts with MJ threads, self-locking, with self-broaching keys used in aerospace components. The document specifies applications, required installation hole dimensions, installation depth and positioning, and provisions for component salvage. It defines codified hole sizes and repair-size options to support new designs and in-service repairs.
Key topics and requirements
- Product description: Threaded sleeve inserts with internal MJ thread, external thread and two or more self-broaching keys that lock into the parent component thread to prevent rotation during bolt installation/removal.
- Design requirements:
- Inserts may be used in tapped blind or through holes; designers must ensure inserts do not protrude into abutment faces when minimum flange thicknesses are used.
- Installed inserts are compatible with MJ threaded bolts to ISO 5855‑2.
- Minimum bolt length must ensure full thread engagement.
- Materials: intended for aluminium alloys and harder materials (e.g., heat‑resistant steels, titanium).
- Performance:
- Minimum re‑usability: 25 re‑uses at ambient temperature and 5 re‑uses after baking at maximum operating temperature (per EN 4621 technical specification).
- Self‑locking torque values are specified (see EN 4620 Table 1) for different MJ diameters to meet re‑use performance.
- Installation:
- Inserts shall be installed 0.25 mm to 0.75 mm below the component surface.
- Installation hole dimensions and boss minimums are codified in tables for normal size and repair sizes (size codes 0 = normal, 1 = first repair, 2 = second repair).
- Restrictions: maximum clearance diameter for items passed through the insert is specified to avoid fouling the locking keys.
- Component salvage:
- Guidance on assessing the feasibility of salvage (cost/mass tradeoffs) and detailed repair procedures reference EN 4619.
Practical applications
- Use EN 4620:2010 when designing or repairing aerospace structures and components that require removable, reusable threaded joints with robust anti‑rotation locking.
- Typical applications: avionics housings, structural components, engine mounts, and any assembly where MJ thread inserts offer improved thread life, repairability, and resistance to vibration looseness.
- Designers use the standard to select correct installation hole sizes, boss dimensions, and repair‑size options to plan for manufacture and in‑service repair.
Who should use this standard
- Aerospace design engineers and mechanical engineers specifying threaded inserts.
- Manufacturing and assembly engineers responsible for hole preparation and installation.
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations planning component salvage and repair strategies.
- Procurement and quality assurance teams verifying compliance with insert design and installation criteria.
