Overview

FprEN 4529-003 - Sealing plugs, Class T is a CEN/ASD-STAN product standard for sealing plugs used in aerospace electrical and optical connections that contain cable (wire) sealing grommets (see EN 4529-002). The document defines the required characteristics for Class T sealing plugs, including materials, dimensions, colour coding, installation orientation and applicable test regimes. Class T parts are intended for high‑temperature aerospace applications and the standard is to be used together with EN 4529-001 (technical specification).

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope and purpose: Specifies product characteristics of sealing plugs for elements of electrical and optical connection.
  • Operating temperature: Class T rated for an operating range of –65 °C to 260 °C.
  • Material: Plugs shall be made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) in accordance with ISO 13000-2 Type E or an equivalent material.
  • Dimensions, mass and colour coding: The standard provides dimensional drawings (Figure 1), tabulated masses and colour codes corresponding to connector/contact sizes. Two length models are defined: Model N (Normal) and Model L (Long).
  • Installation: Sealing plugs are fully inserted with the thicker end forward; no installation tools are required.
  • Tests: Reference test methods from EN 2591 series (visual, dimensional, insulation resistance, temperature endurance, rapid temperature change, mould growth, fluid resistance, flammability, hydrolytic stability). Notably, when manufactured from ISO 13000-2 Type E PTFE, a number of EN 2591 tests are waived (see clause 4.5).
  • Designation & marking: Rules for product designation are given; marking is generally not applicable. Technical specification cross‑references point to EN 4529-001.

Applications and users

Practical applications and typical users include:

  • Aerospace connector designers and manufacturers selecting or specifying sealing plugs for harnesses and connector modules.
  • Electrical/optical connector procurement and specification engineers ensuring compliance with aerospace temperature and material requirements.
  • Quality assurance and test laboratories performing EN 2591 series tests or verifying waivers when PTFE Type E is used.
  • Maintenance and assembly technicians responsible for correct plug installation (orientation and fit) in aircraft systems.

Keywords: sealing plugs, Class T, PTFE, EN 4529-003, aerospace connectors, cable sealing grommets, operating temperature.

Related standards

  • EN 4529-001 - Sealing plugs: Technical specification
  • EN 4529-002 - Index of product standards (cable sealing grommets)
  • EN 2591 series - Test methods for elements of electrical and optical connection
  • EN 2997-001, EN 3155-001 - Connector and contact specifications
  • ISO 13000-2 - PTFE material preparation and properties

This standard derives from MS27488 and (as published) was issued as prEN 4529-003:2021 for CEN enquiry and will supersede EN 4529-003:2006 when adopted.
