Overview
EN 4165-003:2016 is a CEN (ASD-STAN) product standard for aerospace electrical rectangular modular connectors rated for an operating temperature of 175 °C continuous. It specifies the physical and product characteristics of modules (series 2 and series 3) used in modular connector systems coupled by central threaded coupling, rack-and-panel, or push–pull latching mechanisms. EN 4165-003:2016 complements the technical specification and performance/contact arrangements given in EN 4165-001 and EN 4165-002.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Defines module-level characteristics within the EN 4165 modular connector family for aerospace use.
- Interface dimensions
- Detailed male and female module interface dimensions are provided for standard module sizes (series 2 and series 3, including sizes 22, 20, 16, 12 and size 08 grommet designs).
- Module types
- Male, female and blank module definitions, plus maximum mass limits for blank modules (normal and lightweight versions).
- Sealing and grommets
- Grommet and sealing sleeve details; peripheral sealing and fuel-resistance options (multiple types) are specified to support environmental sealing and fuel resistance requirements.
- Polarization and coding
- Standard and alternative polarization positions (N, A, B, C, D, E, F) and polarization key placement to prevent mis-mating.
- Designation and marking
- Product designation format (example identity block) and mandatory marking: identity block, manufacture date (year–week), and manufacturer name/trademark.
- Reference to contact details
- Cross-references to contact and filler product standards (see EN 4165-002 and the EN 3155 series for contact types and deliveries).
Practical applications and users
Who uses EN 4165-003:2016?
- Aerospace connector manufacturers specifying module form factors and product labeling.
- Aircraft system designers and electrical engineers selecting modular connector modules for harnesses and equipment interfaces.
- Procurement and quality assurance teams verifying supplier conformity and part designation.
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations ensuring correct module replacements and sealed variants for fuel/environmental resistance.
- Certification authorities and test labs referencing standardized module dimensions and markings.
Why it matters:
- Ensures mechanical and interface compatibility across suppliers.
- Reduces risk of mis-mating through standardized polarization and coding.
- Supports high-temperature aerospace applications with consistent sealing and fuel-resistance options.
