BS EN 3733-005 specifies the characteristics of receptacle connectors with two holes fixing in the family of circular single-channel fibre optic connectors incorporating ferrules for aerospace series single-core optical cable in accordance with EN 4532. Connector interface dimensions, table of tests and qualification approval requirements, are contained in the Technical Specification EN 3733-001. EN 3733-002, List of product standards, includes the listings of product types, codification and applicable combinations of product types.
BS EN 3733-005 has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN).
BS EN 3733-005 on receptacle connector in two hole fixing cable is useful for:
Optical connectors are suitable for use in aerospace onboard applications. An optic module connects optic cables to an electronic device. An optic module is a component that is used to connect an optic cable to an electronic device. Electrical receptacles are types of sockets or outlets that provide a location in a system where the wire can be inserted to provide electrical current.
The guidelines provided in BS EN 3733-005 assist the design engineer with the use of the optical module to have greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products with components. The guidelines in BS EN 3733-005 create a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical connectors if they supply their electronic connectors to the aerospace industry.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 3733-005, the manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of the products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
