3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 2591-100 apply.
4 Description
4.1 General
A pair of connectors comprises:
 a male housing fitted with female crimp contacts (code F);
 a female housing fitted with male crimp contacts and having an interfacial seal which provides sealing at
each contact when the connectors are mated (code M).
These housings are fitted with polarizing systems permitting 36 combinations.
They are able to take a cable clamp and comprise a locking device at each end.
There are two types of connectors:
 sealed, grommet provided for sealing of cables at the rear (code E);
 non-sealed, grommet provided for non abrasion of cables at the rear (code D).
4.2 Male and female housings
There is one size of housing and twelve contact arrangements as shown in Table 1.
See also Figures 2 to 13.

4.3 Materials
4.3.1 General
The materials which are not specified or are not specially described, shall be as light as possible for the
required application.
Materials are chosen according to safety criteria as defined by the authority of certification.
When dissimilar metals are in close contact, adequate protection against corrosion shall be provided such that
the electromotive force of the galvanic couple shall not exceed 0,25 V.
4.3.2 Housings
These are made of rigid material with high dielectric qualities which will not deteriorate under normal
conditions of operation and ageing.
4.3.3 Contacts
Contacts shall comply with the requirements of EN 3155-001.
5 Design
5.1 Housings
In the sealed and non-sealed types, the grommet shall be attached to the housing.

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------

EN 3545-001:2008 (E)
Identification of the various positions used for coding by the position indicator which appears on the
attachments is given in EN 3545-002.
Identification of the contact cavities shall be consistent with Figures 3 to 14 in EN 3545-002.
5.2 Contacts
Removable contacts shall be inserted and extracted via the rear of the connector.
The insertion and extraction tools shall be introduced via the rear of the connector. For connectors which are
not sealed at the rear, it shall be possible to insert the contact without a tool, unless the mechanical strength
of the wires prevents this.
5.3 Attachments, polarizing features
They are constituted by two integral elements, which are removable from each housing with the aid of metal
tools defined by EN 3545-008 and provide:
 rapid attachment of housings to boards;
 attachment of male housings to female housings;
 necessary polarization between male and female housings.
The threads shall comply with FED-STD-H28A.
It shall be impossible to mate housings when these are polarized differently.
5.4 Cable clamp
The cable clamp, made of insulating material, shall be easy to fit and remove, shall be independent of the
housing attachment system and shall not require any special fastener.
The wires are held by means of a cable tie or lacing cord.
6 Definition drawing and masses
The general dimensions and the mass of the various elements which make up a pair of connectors are given
in product standards.
Dimensions and tolerances are in millimetres.
