Overview
EN 4199-006:2006 is a CEN/AECMA product standard that defines the required characteristics for round braid copper conductors used in aircraft bonding straps. The document specifies material, finish, dimensional classes and marking requirements and is intended to be used together with EN 4199-001 (technical specification) and terminal lugs per EN 3373-004.
This standard supports reliable electrical bonding and grounding across aerospace systems by defining conductor construction, temperature classes and plating requirements for corrosion-resistant performance in the intended service environments.
Key Topics
- Scope and application: Round braid copper conductors for round bonding straps, tin plated (Class T) or nickel plated (Class N).
- Temperature classes:
- Class T (tin plated): -65 °C to 150 °C
- Class N (nickel plated): -65 °C to 260 °C
- Construction:
- Single wire material: Cu ETP drawn wire, nominal diameter 0.15 mm per EN 13602
- Braid configurations identified by codes A–E with specified cross-sections (A: 1.4 mm², B: 3.5 mm², C: 4.5 mm², D: 7 mm², E: 13 mm²)
- Tabled values include external diameter limits, mass per metre and electrical resistance at 20 °C for each code
- Plating/finish:
- Tin plating: minimum 0.1 µm free tin (quality C) per EN 13602
- Nickel plating: minimum 1.5 µm (class 4 %) per ASTM B 355
- Identification & marking:
- Manufacturer identification by colour-coded wire
- Product designation format and package marking requirements are specified
- Quality and tests:
- Acceptance, periodic and qualification maintenance tests referenced to EN 4199-001
Applications
- Aerospace bonding straps and grounding assemblies where flexible, reliable electrical continuity is required
- Interfaces with crimped terminal lugs (use together with EN 3373-004 copper lugs for compatibility)
- Use in airframe grounding networks, lightning protection bonding paths and other electrical bonding applications where temperature-rated, plated braid conductors are required
Benefits:
- Consistent mechanical and electrical performance across defined temperature ranges
- Corrosion protection through specified tin or nickel plating
- Interoperability with EN 4199-001 technical specifications and EN 3373-004 terminal lugs
Related Standards
