Lightweight and robust thermoplastic rectangular connectors

European Standard EN3545 ( Formerly identified as an ASNE0390) is the most popular rectangular connector used mainly for Airbus interior applications.

Two versions are available with a sealed or unsealed grommet at the rear of the connector.

Contacts used are fully EN3155 compliant ( EN3155 is derived from the M39029 Military specifications)

Male contacts are in accordance with the EN3155-008 female where the female contacts are under the EN3155-003.

In order to meet customer requirements , arrangements 02,03 and 06 are dedicated for copper contacts only and arrangements 12, 13 and 16 for aluminum contacts.

That is why  aluminum contacts such as ABS1380 (male contacts) and  ABS1381 ( female contacts ) are suitable.

Compared to a D-sub connector , customers have the posiibility to use Quadrax ( ABS0973/ABS0974 ) Power(ABS1344/ABS1403),optical fiber ( ABS1379) contacts combined with signal contacts.

EN3545 has a « D » shape like a D-Sub connector however its coupling type is more secured

In order to avoid mistakes during coupling, a fast and secure connection is available by using polarization keys ( 36 keying combinations)

EN3545-005A – Female polarization key (formerly ASNE0392C)
EN3545-006B – Male polarization key (formerly ASNE0392D

A large choice of accessories is available from protective covers to backshells ( straight , 90° …etc)

Example, protective Cover EN3545-009 can be used as follows :

• As a protecting cover on plug or receptacle.
  As a Dummy receptacle for plug or receptacle
  Specific versions are available for optical fiber contacts under the ABS1696 or Diode included version under ABS1530.

Since last year a new solution has been developped  under the ABS2306 ( push-pull coupling) to improve time-saving during installation.

We are authorized by all Qualified manufacturers from the Airbus QPL to polarize all EN3545 versions.
