Overview

SIST EN 3218-007:2009 is a European standard specifying requirements for aerospace-grade rectangular connector plugs. These connectors feature metallic shells, screw-locking mechanisms, and utilize rear-removable size 20 crimp contacts. Developed by the European Association of Aerospace Manufacturers (AECMA-STAN) and approved by CEN, this standard supports the reliable and secure connection of electrical systems in aerospace applications. It complements associated standards for receptacles, contacts, filler plugs, and protective covers, ensuring interoperability and consistent quality across interconnected aerospace components.

Key Topics

  • Connector Type: Rectangular plugs with metallic shells designed for robust aerospace environments.
  • Locking Mechanism: Screw-locking ensures secure mechanical fastening resistant to vibration and movement.
  • Contact System: Rear-removable size 20 crimp contacts allow easy replacement and maintenance without disassembling the entire connector.
  • Dimensions and Mass: Detailed specifications of connector sizes and weights are provided to maintain compatibility and performance in design.
  • Materials and Finishing: Standards reference material properties and surface finishing to withstand aerospace conditions.
  • Designation and Marking: A structured coding system to identify connector characteristics for streamlined procurement, servicing, and documentation.
  • Technical Specifications: Complementary requirements covering performance, contact arrangements, and testing protocols referenced from related EN 3218 series standards.

Applications

This standard is primarily used in the aerospace sector to standardize electrical connection components onboard aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems. Its application benefits include:

  • Aerospace Electrical Systems: Ensures reliable power and signal transmission under extreme conditions such as vibration, temperature variations, and mechanical stress.
  • Maintenance & Repair: Rear-removable contacts facilitate quick and cost-effective servicing without replacing the entire plug assembly.
  • System Integration: Compatibility with other aerospace connectors and accessories defined in related EN standards supports modular system design.
  • Quality Assurance: Assures manufacturers, suppliers, and users of consistent connector quality meeting rigorous aerospace operational requirements.

Related Standards

To fully implement systems using EN 3218-007 plugs, reference to the following connected standards is essential:

  • EN 3218-008: Defines associated receptacle connectors with rear-removable size 20 crimp contacts.
  • EN 3155-022 & EN 3155-023: Specify male and female rectangular electrical crimp contacts that are integral to connector operation.
  • EN 4008-003 & EN 3218-009: Provide guidelines for filler plugs and protective covers to ensure connector integrity and dust or environmental protection.
  • EN 3218-001 & EN 3218-002: Cover general technical specifications, performance requirements, and contact arrangement specifications for the connector series.

Practical Value

  • Interoperability: Enhances the compatibility between aerospace electrical components, simplifying design, assembly, and maintenance.
  • Reliability: High standards for materials, mechanical locking, and contact design foster dependable electrical connections critical in safety-focused aerospace applications.
  • Serviceability: Rear-removable crimp contacts reduce downtime and modernize repair workflows, supporting efficient lifecycle management.
  • Standardization: Adoption of EN 3218-007 aligns suppliers and manufacturers with a harmonized European aerospace connector framework.
  • Compliance & Certification: Facilitates certification processes for aerospace products by meeting recognized international standards.
