Overview
EN 3733-004:2008 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that defines the receptacle (four‑hole fixing) for a circular, single‑channel optical connector coupled by a self‑locking ring and rated for continuous operation up to 150 °C. It covers dimensional, material and marking requirements for receptacle connectors used with aerospace single‑core optical cable in accordance with EN 4532 and specifies compatibility, mounting and basic mass limits for the product.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and purpose
- Receptacle connector characteristics for circular single‑channel fibre optic connectors with ferrules for EN 4532 cable.
- Mechanical dimensions and mass
- Interface dimensions and panel cut‑out/mounting details are specified (see figures in the standard); maximum mass 14.1 g (terminated).
- Materials
- Connector shell material: nickel‑copper alloy.
- Compatibility and combinations
- Mating compatibility, spare parts and product codification follow EN 3733‑002 and EN 3733‑001; compatible parts include EN 3733‑003 (plug), EN 3733‑007 (ferrule) and EN 3733‑009 (receptacle sub‑assembly).
- Optical performance limits
- Insertion loss: initial ≤ 0.6 dB; post‑conditioning ≤ 0.85 dB (measured at 810 nm, overfill launch).
- Discontinuity threshold during environmental tests: 0.85 dB; no discontinuities > 20 ns and limited frequency of events.
- Environmental and mechanical testing
- Additional product tests (when mated with EN 4532 cable) include: damp heat cyclic (10 cycles), shock (300 g), vibration (specific PSD and duration modifications), high‑level vibration per MIL‑STD‑810F (gunfire spectrum, modified), axial tensile load 200 N, cable cyclic flexing, cable pulling and torsion, and axial compression. Test references are EN 2591 series and MIL‑STD‑810F.
Applications and Users
- Primary users:
- Aerospace OEMs, harness and cable manufacturers, connector designers, qualification and test laboratories, procurement/specification engineers, avionics maintenance and repair teams.
- Practical uses:
- Specifying and verifying receptacle connectors for aircraft and aerospace systems where high temperature resistance (150 °C), robust mechanical mounting (four‑hole flange) and strict optical performance under severe environmental conditions are required.
- Benefits:
- Ensures interchangeability, reliable optical performance, traceable designation/marking and clear test/qualification expectations for mission‑critical aerospace fibre connections.
