Overview

The kSIST FprEN 3155-070:2025 standard, developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) under the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN), defines the specifications, tests, and tooling requirements for male electrical contacts classified as Type A, Crimp, Class S. These electrical contacts are integral components used in aerospace connector systems, conforming to the broader EN 3155 series covering elements of electrical connection. This product standard ensures high reliability, performance, and interoperability in aerospace electrical systems, operating within a temperature range of -65 °C to +200 °C.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    kSIST FprEN 3155-070:2025 applies exclusively to male electrical contacts designed for crimp termination in aerospace connectors. It complements EN 3155-001 (technical specification) and aligns with associated female contacts standards such as EN 3155-003, EN 3155-009, and EN 3155-071.

  • Characteristics and Dimensions
    The document specifies precise mechanical dimensions, mass, and material requirements. The contacts are manufactured from copper alloy with a gold surface treatment on an undercoat, ensuring conductivity and corrosion resistance. Color-coded markings provide easy identification of contact sizes and types according to ISO 8843.

  • Permissible Cable Sizes
    The standard details compatible conductor sizes, covering American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes 26 to 20 for various cable sections, each rated for specific test currents, ensuring proper electrical performance.

  • Tooling and Assembly
    It mandates use of certified crimping tools compliant with SAE AS22520 and insertion/extraction tools meeting SAE AS81969 standards to guarantee secure and correct installation. Detailed instructions for cable stripping and crimping help maintain connection integrity.

  • Testing and Quality Assurance
    Extensive testing protocols derived from EN 2591 and EN 3155-001 cover electrical, mechanical, environmental, and durability aspects. Tests include contact resistance, thermal endurance at +200 °C, vibration, shock resistance, salt mist, ozone resistance, and fluid resistance. These tests confirm the contact’s reliability under harsh aerospace operating conditions.

  • Marking and Identification
    The contacts feature specific color codes and markings following standard guidelines for traceability and correct assembly in complex aerospace electrical systems.

Applications

kSIST FprEN 3155-070:2025 is essential for aerospace and defense industries requiring high-performance electrical connections in harsh environments. Practical applications include:

  • Aircraft wiring systems where reliable, high-temperature tolerant connections are critical to system safety and performance.
  • Spacecraft and satellite electrical assemblies that demand robust contacts able to withstand extreme thermal cycling.
  • Aerospace connector manufacturing ensuring uniformity across components for modular, easily serviceable electrical systems.
  • Maintenance and repairs in avionics and aerospace equipment where standardized contacts simplify replacements and upgrades.

By adhering to this standard, manufacturers and engineers can ensure consistent quality, compatibility, and safety in aerospace electrical connectors, reducing failure risks and lifecycle costs.
