Copper Braid Bond Braids made of many copper wires are also sometimes used for flexible electrical connections between large components. The numerous smaller wires comprising the braid are much more resistant to breaking under repeated motion and vibration than is a cable of larger wires. In electrical and electronic cables, braid is a tubular sheath made of braided strands of metal placed around a central cable for shielding against electromagnetic interference. The braid is grounded while the central conductor or conductors carry the signal. High conductivity copper, Wire to Bs - 4109 - C101 and Suitable for Earth Bonding/ also supplied as Standard Drilled & Pre-Cut Bonds.

 

Customer specific sizes & types of braid can be manufactured on order. Flexible electrical connectors solve high-voltage connectivity problems created by vibration from generators and transformers. When used as the initial connector from vibration-producing equipment to a power distribution network, flexible connectors (or flexible braided jumpers) isolate the main electrical grounding bus work from the cause of vibration. And while flexible braided connectors are more expensive than using copper bus bar, flex braid returns the investment by cutting the potential cost of down time, maintenance and energy loss created by loose electrical connections.

 

In addition to the positive aspects of flex braid, the most advantageous feature of this versatile connector is evident in its name - flexibility. A cable or cable harness with the same current-carrying ampacity is much stiffer and unwieldy. A cable that will carry 750 amps is fairly easy to work in 20-foot lengths, but bending a shorter piece and routing it around other objects becomes very difficult. In addition to their stiff, unwieldy nature, cables are rigid and transmit vibration. Even though many of our products are standard items, we also make special tailor made products made exactly to the requirements of our customers.
