Overview

EN 4165-007:2024 - published by CEN - is the product standard for the plug (series 3) for 2 and 4 modules within the aerospace family of rectangular, modular electrical connectors rated for an operating temperature of 175 °C continuous. This part defines the plug form, dimensional limits and mass, marking and designation rules, and links to the related receptacle and accessory specifications. EN 4165-007:2024 supersedes EN 4165-007:2007 and is part of the EN 4165 series for high-temperature aerospace connectors.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and temperature rating: Applies to series 3 plugs for 2- and 4-module configurations operating continuously at 175 °C.
• Design and dimensions: Provides the required outline dimensions and maximum masses:
  • 2-module metallic plug - mass: 28.9 g max (see Figure 1)
  • 4-module metallic plug - mass: 34.2 g max (see Figure 2)
• Plug classes: Defines plug classes (W and F) and references plug class details to EN 4165-002.
• Marking and designation: Mandatory marking includes the identity block (designation), date of manufacture (year-week), and manufacturer’s name or trademark.
• Technical specification linkage: Technical performance requirements are specified by reference to EN 4165-001 (technical specification).
• Normative references: The standard updates normative references and aligns with EN 4165-001, EN 4165-002 and EN 4165-021 (coupling system keyway).
• Administrative notes: Prepared by ASD-STAN and adopted by CEN; available in EN official languages and to be implemented by national bodies.

Applications and who uses this standard

• Aerospace OEMs and system integrators specifying high-temperature modular rectangular connectors for airframes, engines, avionics bay installations, and environmental control systems.
• Connector and cable harness manufacturers designing or producing plugs that must meet series 3 form, mass, marking and compatibility requirements.
• Qualification, QA and procurement teams ensuring parts comply with EN 4165 family requirements (interchangeability, traceability, and high-temperature performance).
• Maintenance and repair organizations verifying replacement plugs and marking for traceability and life-cycle records.
• Standards and regulatory engineers using EN 4165-007:2024 as the authoritative reference for plug interfaces within the EN 4165 connector family.
