Overview
EN 4199-003:2014 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that specifies bonding strap assemblies for aircraft. It covers bonding straps made from flat braided copper conductors with tin-plated or nickel-plated finishes and with terminal lugs crimped on both ends. The standard sets material, dimensional, electrical and mechanical characteristics and is intended for use together with EN 4199-001 (technical specification).
Key topics and requirements
- Temperature rating
- Tin-plated copper braid and terminals: −65 °C to +150 °C
- Nickel-plated copper braid and terminals: −65 °C to +260 °C
- Conductor and finish
- Flat braided copper conductors; braid and terminal must have same finish (T = tin, N = nickel).
- Cross-sectional area, test current and tensile strength
- Nominal cross-sections include typical braid sizes (4, 6, 10, 16, 25 mm²) with corresponding test currents and lug-to-lug tensile strength requirements (see Table 1 in EN 4199-003).
- Dimensions and lengths
- Length defined between terminal hole centres; standard lengths in 25 mm increments, preferred 50–300 mm. Standard tolerances apply per length ranges.
- For lightning bonding, braids longer than 220 mm are generally not approved without design authority consent.
- For installations generating >100 kHz, avoid exceeding a length-to-width ratio of 5:1 for EMC reasons.
- Electrical characteristics
- Nominal resistance and mass data provided for 100 mm straps (Table 3); values shown for nickel-plated straps (tin-plated straps have slightly lower resistance).
- Quality and testing
- Mechanical fatigue qualification: 50 000 cycles.
- Acceptance and measurement methods referenced to EN 4199-001 (resistance measured terminal palm to palm at 20 ± 5 °C).
- Designation, marking and packaging
- Designation format example: STRAP BONDING EN 4199-003-X-XXX-XX-X, with finish code T/N.
- Packaging and labeling requirements include full designation, manufacture date and manufacturer identification per EN 2424.
Applications and users
- Practical uses: electrical bonding, grounding, lightning protection, equipotential bonding and EMI/EMC mitigation on fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and airborne systems.
- Typical users: aircraft OEMs, wiring-harness manufacturers, aerospace component suppliers, design authorities, maintenance organizations and procurement/certification engineers specifying bonded connections.
