Overview
FprEN 3646-004 is the CEN product standard for jam-nut mounted receptacles in the aerospace series of electrical circular connectors with bayonet coupling. The standard covers receptacle characteristics intended for continuous operating temperatures of −65 °C to 175 °C or 200 °C, and applies to the models listed in the document's model table. It is published as a draft European standard and will supersede EN 3646-004:2015 when adopted.
This product standard is part of the EN 3646 family and references related technical and performance specifications (see Related Standards). It is intended to ensure interchangeability, reliable high-temperature operation, and standardized mounting for aerospace applications.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Jam-nut mounted receptacles of the bayonet coupling circular connector family, for specified temperature ranges and model types.
- Dimensions and mass: Interface mating, rear dimensions and tolerances are defined by figures and tables in the standard; dimensions are given in millimetres and apply after surface treatment.
- Panel cut-out and mounting: Recommended panel cut-out dimensions and panel interface details are specified to ensure correct jam-nut installation and secure panel mounting.
- Tightening torque: The standard specifies tightening torques for the attachment nut by housing size to ensure correct clamping and mechanical integrity.
- Materials and finishes: Material and surface treatment requirements are identified for the receptacle housing and related parts.
- Marking and designation: Requirements for product marking (manufacturer part number, date of manufacture, name/mark) and packaging identification are given to support traceability.
- Design updates: Notable changes in the draft include allowance for six equally spaced holes in the jam nut for locking wire and an updated figure for the receptacle.
Applications
This standard is targeted at aerospace electric equipment and systems where high-temperature continuous operation and robust mechanical mounting are required. Typical applications include:
- Aircraft and spacecraft electrical harness interfaces
- High-temperature avionics or engine bay connectors
- Systems requiring standardized, interchangeable receptacles with jam-nut panel mounting
Benefits include improved interchangeability, defined mechanical and thermal performance, and clear requirements for mounting, marking and accessory compatibility.
