Overview
EN 4639-001:2007 is a CEN aerospace technical specification for rectangular, modular, multicontact optical connectors using 1.25 mm diameter ferrules with a removable alignment sleeve holder. It defines general characteristics, qualification, acceptance and quality-assurance requirements, and the required test programs and groups for multipin fibre optic connectors intended primarily for onboard aerospace applications. The family is derived from EN 4644-001 and is designed to provide easy access for optical contact end-face cleaning and to accept single cable sizes up to 2 mm outside diameter.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Connector architecture
- Rectangular plug and receptacle housings (housing sizes 1 and 2) compatible with EN 4644-001.
- Modular hard-material inserts (modules) carrying rear-removable optical contacts.
- Modules keyed (“A” and “B”) to prevent mismatching; removable with specified extraction tools.
- Female modules accept a removable sleeve holder that secures alignment sleeves for contact mating.
- Optical contacts and ferrules
- Uses rear removable optical contacts with 1.25 mm ferrule diameter.
- Contacts are spring-loaded; spring force is specified in the applicable product standard.
- Materials and sealing
- Materials and surface treatments must avoid galvanic corrosion (electromotive force < 0.25 V) per EN 3197.
- Front-face and rear-face sealing via interfacial seals and grommets sized to cable OD.
- Dimensions and mating
- Mating dimensions, contact displacement conditions and contact arrangements are defined (see figures in the standard) to ensure correct alignment and J > 0 mating condition.
- Testing and qualification
- Test programs reference EN 2591-100 (elements of electrical and optical connection - general test methods) and list applicable climatic, mechanical and fluid-resistance tests.
- Qualification, acceptance and maintenance follow EN 9133-quality management and aerospace qualification procedures.
Practical applications and users
- Intended for aerospace onboard optical interconnects where robust, modular multisignal optical cabling is required.
- Primary users:
- Aerospace systems and harness engineers specifying optical interconnects.
- Connector and module manufacturers certifying parts to aerospace standards.
- Quality assurance, test laboratories and procurement teams verifying qualification and acceptance.
- Avionics integrators and maintenance personnel who require removable sleeve holders for easy cleaning and serviceability.
Related standards (for implementation)
- EN 4644-001 / -002 / -003 (rectangular housings, inserts and product standards)
- EN 2591-100 (test methods for electrical/optical connectors)
- EN 3197 (installation and corrosion protection guidance)
- EN 9133 (qualification procedure for aerospace standard parts)
- Relevant military tool standard: MIL-I-81969/14 (connector contact tools)
EN 4639-001 is essential when specifying or qualifying aerospace optical connectors, ensuring consistent mechanical design, mating performance, and formal qualification and test regimes for safety‑critical airborne systems.

Housing size 1 with 1 module cavity. Housing size 2 with 2 module cavities. The connectors use rear removable optical contacts with a ferrule diameter of 1,25 mm. The precise alignment of the optical contacts is accomplished by alignment sleeves held in a removable sleeve holder. The receptacles and plugs contain either male or female module. The female module is characterised by its ability to receive the removable sleeve holder. The modules can be installed and removed from the shell by means of a tool as specified in EN 4644-003. The modules are keyed to prevent mismatching (“A” module for connector housing cavity “A” and “B” module for connector housing cavity “B”) as specified in EN 4644-001.
