Overview

prEN 3660-065 is a CEN product standard in the aerospace series that specifies cable outlets, style K, 90°, designed for use with heat-shrinkable boots. The standard covers shielded, sealed, self‑locking (anti‑rotational) rear accessories for circular and rectangular electrical and optical connectors used in aerospace environments. It defines dimensions, materials/finishes, temperature classes, cable‑entry sizes and mechanical/electrical performance requirements to ensure reliable shield termination and boot accommodation.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & interfaces
  • Applies to 90° cable outlets (style K) intended to mate with connectors listed in EN 3660-002.
  • Standard front interfaces: AS85049 (mandatory) and an optional interface with detailed dimensional tables.
• Shielding & sealing
  • Designed for termination of overall braid and/or individual cable shields; accommodates metallic bands for shield termination (see EN 3660-033).
  • Sealed and shielded construction to support electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and environmental protection.
• Self‑locking (anti‑rotational) feature
  • Provides differing torque for mating/unmating directions to prevent unintended rotation.
• Materials & finishes
  • Multiple material/finish classes and temperature ratings: Class N, K, W, T (Nickel PTFE), Z (black zinc nickel), V and D (tin‑zinc non‑reflective/dark).
• Temperature range
  • Class N: −65 °C to 200 °C
  • Class K: −65 °C to 260 °C
  • Classes W, T, Z, V, D: −65 °C to 175 °C (class specifics given in the standard)
• Dimensions & mechanical requirements
  • Detailed shell sizes, cable‑entry dimensions, knurling, tooth positions, and surface finish (internal surfaces ≤ 16 µm).
• Testing & qualification
  • References extensive test methods (EN 2591 series) including visual, dimensional, electrical continuity, surface transfer impedance, shielding effectiveness (100 MHz–1 GHz), lightning strike, temperature endurance, salt mist, vibration, shock, mechanical endurance, and mating/unmating forces.

Applications

• Use in aircraft and space vehicle electrical and optical cabling where secure shield termination, environmental sealing and anti‑rotational locking are required.
• Ideal for harness designers, connector manufacturers and systems integrators specifying rear accessories for high‑reliability harness terminations.
• Ensures EMC integrity, mechanical strength and environmental protection for power, signal and fiberoptic cable exits.

Who should use this standard

• Aerospace OEMs, connector and accessory manufacturers, design and test engineers, procurement/specification teams, and qualification/test laboratories.
