Overview - EN 4199-005:2009 (CEN)

EN 4199-005:2009 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that specifies the characteristics of flat braid conductors used for aircraft bonding straps. It covers copper flat braids with tin plating (temperature rating −65 °C to 150 °C) and nickel plating (temperature rating −65 °C to 260 °C). The standard defines material, construction limits, dimensions, marking, packaging and basic quality checks for these bonding conductors.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Temperature rating
    • Copper, tin‑plated: −65 °C to 150 °C
    • Copper, nickel‑plated: −65 °C to 260 °C
  • Material and finish
    • Single strand diameters ≥ 0.10 mm shall comply with EN 2083; same material/plating applies to strands < 0.10 mm.
  • Braid geometry
    • Braid angle α: 10° to 35°
    • Dimensions and mass given by Figure 1 and Table 1 (size codes A–E). Example entries:
      • Code A - nominal cross‑section 4 mm², construction 24 × 44 × 0.071, mass ≈ 40 kg/km
      • Code C - nominal cross‑section 10 mm², construction 24 × 110 × 0.071, mass ≈ 115 kg/km
      • Code E - nominal cross‑section 25 mm², construction 24 × 132 × 0.10, mass ≈ 262 kg/km
  • Electrical resistance
    • Resistance values at 20 °C under 1 A are specified per braid code (Ω/km).
  • Quality assurance
    • Flexure endurance: 1 000 cycles on a mandrel of diameter 5× nominal braid thickness with a suspended weight.
    • Guide for suspended mass: nominal cross‑section (mm²) × 150 g
  • Designation, marking and packaging
    • Designation format examples provided (e.g., EN4199-005A T for size code A, tin plated).
    • Marking on reel/packaging must include: designation, date of manufacture, manufacturer name/monogram (EN 2424 style F), and length.
    • Packaging: supplied on reels as agreed with purchaser.

Applications and users

  • Intended for use in aircraft bonding straps and grounding connections where flexible, low‑resistance conductors are needed.
  • Typical users:
    • Aerospace component manufacturers and assemblers
    • Bonding strap and cable suppliers
    • Aircraft design and maintenance engineers
    • Procurement and quality assurance teams specifying material compliance

Related standards

  • EN 4199-001 - Bonding straps for aircraft - Technical specification (terminology and general requirements)
  • EN 2083 - Copper or copper alloy conductors for electrical cables - Product standard
  • EN 2424 - Marking of aerospace products

This standard is essential when specifying or manufacturing flat braid conductors for aerospace bonding applications to ensure compatibility, traceability and reliable performance across the specified temperature ranges.
