Overview

SIST EN 3155-044:2026 is a European product standard published by CEN as part of the aerospace series for electrical contacts. This standard specifically addresses the requirements for male electrical contacts, size 044, type A, double crimping, class T used in elements of electrical connection according to EN 3155-002. It defines essential characteristics, test methods, and tooling for these contacts, which are critical components in high-reliability aerospace electrical systems.

This document supplements EN 3155-001 and refers users to EN 3155-045 for the associated female contacts of compatible type and class. It supersedes EN 3155-044:2019, including editorial updates and revised figures related to color identification bands for improved clarity and consistency.

Key Topics

  • Required Characteristics

    • Specifies the dimensions, mass, and materials for the contacts, ensuring compatibility and interchangeability within aerospace systems.
    • Requires copper alloy as the body material and gold plating with a nickel undercoat for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.
    • Defines a double crimping method to improve mechanical and electrical reliability under demanding aerospace conditions.
  • Marking and Identification

    • Contacts must be marked with manufacturer symbols and color identification bands as per ISO 8843.
    • Color bands aid rapid visual identification of contact size and type.
  • Permissible Cables and Cable Preparation

    • Defines compatible cable sizes, focusing on size 22 AWG (section 0.4 mm²), standard in aerospace wiring.
    • Details stripping lengths and requirements to ensure reliable terminations and connections.
  • Tooling Requirements

    • Mandates the use of standardized tooling (per SAE AS22520 and AS81969) for crimping, insertion, and extraction, ensuring correct installation and removal procedures.
  • Testing Procedures

    • Outlines comprehensive mechanical and electrical tests, including visual inspection, dimensional checks, contact resistance, endurance under temperature, vibration, shock, and environmental exposure.
    • Testing is to be performed with contacts installed in representative connector assemblies to simulate real-world aerospace environments.

Applications

SIST EN 3155-044:2026 is essential for organizations involved in design, manufacturing, qualification, and maintenance of aerospace electrical connectors. Applications include:

  • Commercial and military aircraft electrical systems, where high reliability is essential for safety and performance.
  • Spacecraft and satellite wiring harnesses, leveraging the strict mechanical and environmental requirements.
  • Aerospace equipment manufacturers seeking compliance with European and international connector standards.
  • Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations that need to verify or replace electrical contacts using certified components and processes.

Using contacts compliant with EN 3155-044 ensures compatibility, interchangeability, and performance in multi-vendor environments and across international aerospace programs.

Related Standards

Several standards are referenced for normative requirements, installation, and testing:

  • EN 3155-001: General requirements for aerospace electrical contacts (used together with this part)
  • EN 3155-002: Lists and descriptions of contacts covered by the series
  • EN 3155-045: Product standard for associated female contacts, type A, double crimping, class T
  • EN 2083, EN 4434: Standards for copper and copper alloy conductors used in aerospace cables
  • EN 2591 Series: Comprehensive suite of test methods for electrical and optical connection elements, including contact resistance, endurance, temperature cycling, vibration, and more
  • ISO 8843: Identification system for crimp-removable contacts
  • SAE AS22520 & AS81969: Specifications for crimping and tooling requirements

Adhering to SIST EN 3155-044:2026 and its related standards is vital for aerospace suppliers to meet procurement, qualification, and certification requirements, ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical connections in critical aerospace applications.
