SIST EN 3716-006:2009 is a SIST adoption of EN 3716-006:2006 for aerospace single-way connectors with a triaxial interface used for digital data transmission. It specifies requirements and assembly instructions for crimp plugs with braid termination, with either a male or female contact, for use with EN 3716-002 on cables to EN 3375-003, EN 3375-004 or EN 3375-005.
What does SIST EN 3716-006:2009 specify?
SIST EN 3716-006:2009 covers the product standard for a crimp plug in the EN 3716 connector family. In practice, it tells manufacturers and harness assemblers what the plug is, what cable types it works with, how it mates, how it is marked, and how it is assembled.
The standard is organized into clauses on scope, normative references, terms and definitions, required characteristics, technical specification, designation, marking, and assembly instructions. That structure helps users move from product selection to build and inspection.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 3716-006:2009?
Clause 4 is the core of SIST EN 3716-006:2009. It sets the required characteristics of the plug, including its dimensions, mass, electrical performance, mechanical performance, and environmental endurance.
Product characteristics and interfaces
The plug has to fit the interface shown in the figures and the ferrules shown for cable group A and cable group B. It is designed as a single-way connector with either a male or female contact, so users must choose the correct contact gender for the mating arrangement.
The plug is intermateable with receptacles to EN 3716-003 and EN 3716-005. That matters in production because the plug cannot be treated as a standalone item - it has to match the approved receptacle family and the opposite contact gender.
Electrical, mechanical and environmental performance
Clause 4.4 lists the main performance characteristics for the product, covering temperature class, current, insulation resistance, voltage strength, contact resistance, coupling torque, insertion force, retention force, mating and unmating cycles, and salt spray resistance. In practice, these are the checks that determine whether a connector is suitable for aerospace wiring and whether test or qualification results are acceptable.
Materials, specification and designation
Clause 4.3 points to EN 3716-001 for material and surface treatment. Clause 5 also sends the user back to EN 3716-001 for the technical specification, so this part standard is read together with the general connector specification.
Clause 6 gives the designation structure for ordering and identification. It distinguishes the type of contact, female or male, and ties the description block to the EN 3716-006 identity block. That is what buyers and drawing offices use to specify the exact part.
Marking and assembly
Clause 7 requires marking on the nut, including manufacturer identification and date code information in year-week form. That helps traceability in manufacturing, inspection and maintenance.
Clause 8 gives the assembly instructions. It requires tooling that conforms to MIL-DTL-22520 and lists the approved selector settings and cavities for the different contact positions. It also describes cable preparation, braid handling, crimping of the conductors, fitting of insulating parts, and shrinking or adhesive sealing of the sleeve. For assemblers, this is the practical build sequence that prevents damage and supports consistent termination quality.
What terms does SIST EN 3716-006:2009 define?
SIST EN 3716-006:2009 uses the terms and definitions from EN 3716-001. The key terms in this document are the ones used to describe the connector parts and the assembly steps.
- Crimp plug - the connector part covered by this standard, assembled by crimping rather than soldering.
- Male contact - the plug contact version intended to mate with the opposite gender receptacle contact.
- Female contact - the plug contact version intended to mate with the opposite gender receptacle contact.
- Braid termination - the method of finishing the cable braid so it is secured to the connector body.
- Cable group A / cable group B - the two cable variants shown in the ferrule figures, used to guide assembly.
Who uses SIST EN 3716-006:2009?
SIST EN 3716-006:2009 is used by aerospace connector designers, cable harness manufacturers, assembly technicians, quality engineers, inspectors, and buyers. It is relevant in aerospace electric equipment and systems where digital data transmission uses triaxial connector interfaces.
It supports part selection, crimp-tool setup, harness assembly, and product acceptance for connector systems built to the EN 3716 family.
What changed in SIST EN 3716-006:2009 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 3716-006:2009 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 3716-006:2006.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 3716-006:2009?
| Standard | What it contributes |
|---|---|
| EN 3375-003 | Cable for digital data transmissions, bifilar, single-braid |
| EN 3375-004 | Cable for digital data transmissions, bifilar, double-braid |
| EN 3375-005 | Cable for digital data transmissions, bifilar, double-braid, high immunity |
| EN 3716-001 | Technical specification, terms and definitions, and material/surface treatment reference |
| EN 3716-002 | Conditions of use and list of product standards |
| EN 3716-003 | Mating receptacle standard |
| EN 3716-005 | Crimp receptacle standard |
| MIL-DTL-22520 | Crimping tools for wire termination |
What does the SIST EN 3716-006:2009 document contain?
The document contains a product scope, cross-references, and the connector family structure, followed by the required characteristics and the technical specification path back to EN 3716-001. It also includes a designation example and the marking requirements used for identification.
For assembly, it provides figure-based guidance for the plug body and ferrules, a tool table for approved crimping equipment, and a step-by-step procedure for cable preparation, braid handling, crimping, and sleeve finishing. This is the part that production teams use directly on the shop floor and that quality teams use when checking assembly conformity.
