Introduction
This family of fibre optic modules has the same mechanical interface than the one described in
EN 4165-001. The module defined in the prEN 4733-003 for two MT optical contacts defined in the
EN 4734-10X series can be fitted in either a plug or a receptacle EN 4165-001-compliant.
It is suitable for use on aerospace on board applications. It provides easy access for optical contact end
face cleaning.

4 Description
4.1 General
This document describes an optical connector module to be installed in either a plug or receptacle
shells conform to EN 4165-001.
The module uses rear removable optical contacts fitted with a MT ferrule compliant with CEI-
IEC 61754-5 as defined in EN 4734.
The precise alignment of the MT contained inside the optical contacts is accomplished by two alignment
pins and is secured by the use of a latching spring.
The male MT contact contains alignments pins recessed in the contact body. The female MT contact
does not contain alignment pins and its body does not cover the MT.
The module is mechanically held inside the connector shell cavity as defined in EN 4165-001.
Connector type designation as specified in EN 4165-001.
Standard EN 4165 back shell and cable clamp for rectangular connector are not compatible when
module equipped with two optical MT contact is mounted in connector.
The module is not waterproof. When only one MT optical contact is equipped in the module, a shutter
can be used in the empty cavity to protect the cavity against dust (in EN 4733-004 TBC).
4.2 Receptacle
Receptacle description as specified in EN 4165-001, series 2.
4.3 Plug
Plug description as specified in EN 4165-001 series,2.
4.4 Module
Mechanical interface and polarization between connector housings and module conform to
EN 4165-001 series 2 and EN 4165-003.
Module shall be single-bloc type design completed with an integrated MT contact retention system.
The design shall permit individual installation of the contacts without removal of the module from the
connector.
The module shall be permanently fitted with a peripheral gasket.
Male module is exclusively fitted with male MT contact, and conversely, female module is exclusively
fitted with female MT contact as specified in EN 4734-10X.
Male or female module shall contain two MT contacts cavities each.
4.5 Materials and surface treatment
4.5.1 General
The requirements of EN 4165-001 shall be applied.
4.5.2 Housings
The connector shell description is specified in EN 4165-001 series 2.
oSIST prEN 4733-001:2024
prEN 4733-001:2023 (E)
4.5.3 Optical MT contacts
Optical MT contacts shall be made of suitable materials as specified in the product standard
EN 4734-10X.
4.5.4 Metallic or non-metallic materials
Materials used for modules, contacts and seals shall have a hardness and mechanical characteristics
consistent with the required use.
5 Design
5.1 Housing
The connector housing design is specified in EN 4165-001 series 2.
5.2 Modules
Modules carrying optical contacts shall be in hard material and have a cross section and radii such that
no cracks, flaking or breaks can occur in normal operation.
The module shall be single-bloc type design complete with contact retention systems and appropriate
seals.
The module is mechanically held in the connector housing by retention clips, and removable with the
use of an extraction tool.
The MT contacts retention system shall be integrated in the hard module.
Modules shall permanently contain a peripheral seal.
