Overview
EN 4049-004:2006 is a CEN aerospace product standard that defines the characteristics of two-core nickel‑chromium (NiCr) / nickel‑aluminium (NiAl) thermocouple extension cables used to connect thermocouples to equipment. The standard targets operating temperatures between −65 °C and 260 °C and specifies materials, construction, identification, required tests and quality assurance requirements for aerospace applications.
This part (Part 004) covers cables with two cores (NiCr positive, NiAl negative), a nickel‑plated copper braid screen and a two‑tape outer jacket system (polyimide tape coated with a fluoro‑carbon film, plus PTFE wrap).
Key Topics
- Materials and conductors: Two cores conforming to EN 4049-003 (NiCr and NiAl conductors). No filler cores permitted.
- Screening: Nickel‑plated copper braid (material per EN 2083) to provide electrical screening and continuity.
- Outer jacket construction: First tape - polyimide (total thickness 37.5 µm) coated on one side with a 12.5 µm fluoro‑carbon film; second tape - PTFE (0.076 mm before sintering) wrapped in the opposite direction.
- Mechanical and electrical characteristics: Nominal conductor sections and associated linear resistances, external diameters and masses are defined in the standard's tables.
- Testing and conformity: Applies tests referenced in EN 3475 (visual, dimensions, ohmic resistance per unit length, voltage proof, insulation resistance, bending, thermal ageing, flammability, resistance to fluids, conductor continuity, tensile tests, strippability/adherence) and ISO 8056-1 tests for magnetic properties and thermo‑electric EMF verification.
- Designation and marking: Provides code format for identification, short type codes (TR 6058), and instructions for packaging, labelling and delivery length.
- Quality assurance: Conformance and supplier quality follow EN 9133 procedures for aerospace standard parts.
Applications
- Temperature measurement and sensor extension in aircraft electrical and environmental systems.
- Use where reliable thermocouple signal transmission is required over the specified temperature range with electromagnetic screening.
- Suitable for avionics, engine test instrumentation, environmental control systems and other aerospace temperature monitoring applications where standardized cable construction and traceable testing are required.
