What is BS EN 4165-024 - Single module plug about ?
BS EN 4165-024 is a European Standard that defines the single module plug used in the family of rectangular electrical connectors. The receptacle corresponding to this plug is defined in EN 4165-025. Accessories and protective covers corresponding to those plugs are defined in EN 4165-026. The cavity of this connector is uncoded, so it can accept polarized modules N, A, B, C and D as defined in EN 4165-002.
Who is BS EN 4165-024 - Single module plug for ?
BS EN 4165-024 for single module receptacle applicable for:
- Aerospace avionic and fibre optic technology
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturers
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Military aircraft manufacturers
- Design engineers for receptacles
- Quality control personnel for spacecraft products
- Manufacturers of receptacles
Why should you use BS EN 4165-024 - Single module plug ?
An electrical connector is a device that connects two active devices to transmit current or signals.
A plug is a pronged connecting device, which needs a sidekick, also known as a socket. A receptacle is a contact device allowing the connection of an attachment plug or receptacle.
The guidelines given in BS EN 4165-024 helps you select the right connector and plugs 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, you can use guidelines provided in BS EN 4165-024 to ensure safe usage of plugs and have greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products and composing systems with components as well.
BS EN 4165-024 provides guidance on the characteristics, dimensions, and materials for plugs. Hence it 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 4165-024, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
