Overview
EN 3733-006:2008 - Aerospace series - Connector, optical, circular, single channel, coupled by self-locking ring, operating temperature 150 °C continuous - Part 006: Receptacle, connector, jam nut fixing for cable according to EN 4532.
This CEN product standard defines the physical characteristics, mounting details and additional test requirements for a circular single‑channel fibre‑optic receptacle (jam nut fixing) used with aerospace single‑core optical cable. It applies to high‑temperature (150 °C continuous) optical connectors intended for harsh airborne environments.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and interface: Specifies receptacle dimensions (see Figure 1), panel cut‑out and mounting (Figures 2 and 3) and a maximum mass of 24.2 g.
- Mechanical mounting: Jam nut fixing with a minimum recommended mounting torque of 0.3 Nm for flat bulkheads.
- Materials: Connector shell made of a nickel‑copper alloy suitable for aerospace environments.
- Optical performance: Insertion loss and variation limits are defined; optical discontinuity threshold is specified at 0.85 dB (minimum discontinuity duration 20 ns).
- Environmental and mechanical testing: Additional product tests (Table 2) include:
- Air leakage (100 kPa differential, tightness limits).
- Damp heat (cyclic) and shock (e.g., 300 g severity, multiple axes).
- High‑level vibration (MIL‑STD‑810F referenced), axial tensile load, cable flexing, pulling, torsion and compression tests to verify cable attachment effectiveness.
- Compatibility: Defines compatible mating plugs, ferrules and sub‑assemblies; connectors terminated to EN 4532 cables are only compatible with similarly terminated mates.
- Designation and marking: Naming convention and marking references are provided, with common technical requirements handled in EN 3733‑001.
Practical applications and users
Who uses EN 3733-006:2008:
- Aerospace OEMs and suppliers specifying optical circular connectors for avionics and airborne sensors.
- Connector and ferrule manufacturers designing receptacles for EN 4532 single‑core cable.
- Systems integrators and wiring harness engineers validating mechanical mounting and environmental performance.
- Test and qualification laboratories performing acceptance and qualification testing to aerospace standards. Practical uses include optical links for flight controls, sensors, data buses and other avionics systems where high temperature, vibration and sealing performance are required.
