Overview - EN 4165-006:2024 (CEN)

EN 4165-006:2024 is the CEN product standard for aerospace rectangular modular electrical connectors - specifically the series 2 plug for 2‑module and 4‑module configurations, rated for a continuous operating temperature of 175 °C. It defines the plug variants used in the EN 4165 family; matching receptacles and accessories are covered by EN 4165-002. This standard supersedes EN 4165-006:2007 and was approved in 2024.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and applicability
  • Covers plugs, series 2, for 2 and 4 modules within the EN 4165 rectangular modular connector family.
  • Intended for aerospace electrical equipment and systems requiring continuous 175 °C operation.
• Dimensional and mass data
  • Provides dimensions and mass limits by module count and class (Figures and Tables in the standard).
  • Examples from the standard:
    • 2‑module plugs: overall dimension A max = 15.10 mm (classes W, F) and 15.90 mm (classes J, M); mass max 23.4 g (W, F) and 16.5 g (J, M).
    • 4‑module plugs: A max = 15.10 mm (W, F) and 15.90 mm (J, M); mass max 29 g (W, F) and 20.3 g (J, M).
• Classes and configurations
  • Plug classes referenced (W, F, J, M) align with contact and mechanical class definitions in EN 4165-002.
• Marking and designation
  • Mandatory marking: identity block per Clause 5, date of manufacture (year-week), and manufacturer name/trademark.
• Normative references
  • Integrates requirements and cross‑references with:
    • EN 4165-001 (technical specification)
    • EN 4165-002 (performance, contact arrangements; receptacles)
    • EN 4165-021 (coupling system keyway)
• Compliance notes
  • Terms and definitions per EN 4165-001; standard may include patent-right considerations.

Applications and users

Who uses EN 4165-006:

• Aerospace connector manufacturers designing and producing series‑2 plugs for high‑temperature environments.
• Aircraft and spacecraft electrical systems engineers specifying connector interfaces that must withstand 175 °C continuous duty.
• Procurement and quality teams verifying supplier components against EN 4165 family requirements.
• Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations replacing or sourcing compatible plugs and mating hardware.
• Certification and regulatory bodies assessing conformity with CEN/ASD‑STAN standards.

Practical applications:

• High‑temperature zones in aircraft and spacecraft harnesses, avionics cabinets, engine bay interfaces, and other systems where elevated continuous operating temperature is required.
