What is BS EN 3646-007- Receptacle for electrical connectors about?
BS EN 3646-007 defines the characteristics of a hermetic receptacle with a round flange attached by welding or brazing in 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.
For plugs and protective covers see EN 3646-008 and EN 3646-009 respectively.
BS EN 3646-007 covers the terms and definitions, required characteristics, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the electrical connector with rectangular inserts on the receptacle.
BS EN 3646-007 has been prepared by the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe - Standardization (ASD-STAN).
Who is BS EN 3646-007 - Receptacle for electrical connectors for?
BS EN 3646-007 on the receptacle for electrical connectors is useful for:
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products
- Quality control personnel for spacecraft products
Why should you use BS EN 3646-007 - Receptacle for electrical connectors?
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 3646-007 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 3646-007 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 3646-007 aids design engineers in designing electrical connectors as per specifications that enhance the reliability of their products.
BS EN 3646-007 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of electrical connectors if they supply their electronic connectors to the aerospace industry.
By adopting BS EN 3646-007, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
