BS EN 3646-003 is a European Standard defines the characteristics of square flange receptacles of the family of bayonet coupling circular connectors, intended for use in an operating temperature range of – 65 °C to 175 °C or 200 °C continuous.
It applies to models defined in Table 3.
For contacts, filler plugs and rear accessories associated with this receptacle see EN 3646-002. For plugs and protective covers, see EN 3646-008 and EN 3646-009 respectively.
BS EN 3646-003 on square flange hermetic receptacles is applicable to:
The hermetic solder mount receptacle has the smallest mounting footprint available. The reduced flange is useful when soldering in high densities to a panel or mounting to compact probes or sensors.
The guidelines given in BS EN 3646-003 helps you select the right receptacles as well as a connector as they improve the production process if an electronic component fails, the failed component can be replaced when an electrical connector is installed.
For a design engineer, the best practice guidelines provided in BS EN 3646-003 helps you with the use of electrical connectors and receptacles., You have greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products and composing systems with components as well.
BS EN 3646-003 is structured such that the necessary level of quality is achieved, consistently maintained, and high reliability of the product assured. By adopting BS EN 3646-003, you can demonstrate the reliability of your products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
