BS EN 4644-133 is a European standard that specifies the size 3 receptacle for rack and panel application used in the family of modular rectangular electrical and optical connectors with rectangular inserts. The plug corresponding to this receptacle is defined in EN 4644-131.
BS EN 4644-133 covers the terms and definitions, required characteristics, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the connector with rectangular inserts on size 3 receptacle for rack and panel application.
BS EN 4644-133 on the receptacle for rack and panel application is useful for:
An electrical connector is a device that connects two active devices to transmit current or signals. Receptacles provide reliable protection for all types of de-coupled connectors.
The guidelines provided in BS EN 4644-133 helps to select the right receptacles as well as a connector as they improve the production process and if an electronic component fails, the failed component can be replaced when an electrical connector is installed.
The guidelines provided in BS EN 4644-133 helps the design engineer with the use of electrical connectors, to have greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products with components as well. BS EN 4644-133 helps design engineers in designing electrical connectors as per specifications that enhance the reliability of their products.
BS EN 4644-133 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical connectors if they supply their electronic connectors to the aerospace industry.
BS EN 4644-133 is structured such that the necessary level of quality is achieved, consistently maintained, and the high reliability of the product assured. By adopting BS EN 4644-133, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
