Aerospace components need to function well and remain durable in extreme environmental conditions. BS EN 4644-001 provides specifications for connectors that are suitable for use onboard commercial and military aircraft for both disconnect panel and rack and panel applications in severe environmental conditions.
BS EN 4644-001 specifies the required characteristics, the condition for qualification, acceptance, and quality assurance for electrical and optical rectangular connectors with single or multiple removable rectangular inserts for use in a temperature range from – 65 °C to 175 °C continuous for electrical contact.
BS EN 4644-001 for aerospace connectors for electrical and optical systems is relevant for:
BS EN 4644-001 provides you with guidelines for the design, dimensions and masses, tests, marking, packaging, as well as storage of the connectors. This family of connectors is particularly suitable for aeronautic use in zones of severe environmental conditions onboard aircraft, applying EN 2282.
You will find guidelines for inserts for fibre optic contacts or mixing fibre optic contacts and electrical contacts in EN 4639002.
BS EN 4644-001 guidelines enable you to design and manufacture high-quality connectors that contribute to aviation safety and quality.
