What is BS EN 3645-010 - Hermetic receptacles about ?
BS EN 3645-010 is an international standard that specifies the characteristics of hermetic receptacles with jam nut mounting in the family of circular, electrical connectors, with triple start threaded coupling.
BS EN 3645-010 applies to models in Table 3. The contacts are unremovable and soldered termination.
These connectors are derived from and interchangeable with model Y in specification MIL-DTL-38999/23. BS EN 3645-010 covers the terms and definitions, required characteristics, designation, markings, and technical specifications of hermetic receptacles with jam mounting.
Who is BS EN 3645-010 - Hermetic receptacles for ?
BS EN 3645-010 for round flange hermetic receptacles applicable 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 3645-010 - Hermetic receptacles ?
Hermetic receptacles are high sealing and space-saving and are environment friendly as there is no lead content in it.
The guidelines given in BS EN 3645-010 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.
As a design engineer, guidelines provided in BS EN 3645-010 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 3645-010 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 3645-010, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
