Overview

FprEN 3646-006 is a CEN draft product standard for hermetic jam‑nut mounted receptacles in the aerospace family of circular electrical connectors with bayonet coupling. It defines the characteristics, dimensions and marking for receptacles designed to operate continuously in the temperature range –65 °C to 175 °C or 200 °C. The document updates and supersedes EN 3646‑006:2018 and aligns with the broader EN 3646 series for high‑temperature aerospace connectors.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & models: Applies to the receptacle models listed in Table 4 (examples include passivated stainless‑steel housings with solder contacts rated to 200 °C).
• Dimensions & tolerances: Detailed flange, panel cut‑out and interface dimensions are specified (Figure 1, Figure 2, Tables 1–3). Dimensions are in millimetres and apply after surface treatment.
• Material & surface treatment: Materials and finishes are prescribed (see Table 4) to ensure hermeticity and high‑temperature performance.
• Mechanical requirements:
  • Tightening torque for the jam‑nut attachment is specified by housing size (e.g., size 08 = 7 N·m, size 16 = 18 N·m, size 24 = 29 N·m ±10%).
  • Optional features include three or six equally spaced holes in the jam nut for locking wire (new in this revision).
• Interface & threads: Interface mating dimensions refer to EN 3646‑001; thread dimensions comply with ISO 3161 (UNJ threads).
• Marking & packaging: Product marking must include the manufacturer’s part number (identity block), date of manufacture (year, week) and maker’s name or trademark. Packaging must mirror these identifiers.
• Performance & contact arrangements: Main electrical and environmental characteristics are governed by EN 3646‑002 and EN 3646‑001 (technical specification).

Applications and users

This product standard is essential for:

• Aerospace component manufacturers designing or producing hermetic circular receptacles for engines, high‑temperature avionics, thermal control systems and space vehicles.
• Systems engineers and procurement specialists who need to specify compliant connectors for harsh environments.
• Quality assurance and test laboratories verifying dimensional, mechanical and marking requirements.
• Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations that replace or validate connector compatibility.

Typical applications include high‑temperature aircraft and spacecraft electrical interfaces where hermetic sealing and reliable bayonet coupling are required.
