GENERAL USES: Tubular braid has a specific current carrying capacity. High currents are easily carried at low voltages. Typically used as a ground strap or to add Shielding to a wire or cable. Shielding is achieved by insertion of the wire or cable into the braid or inserting a shielded cable to maximize braid coverage. Braid provides a low resistance path to ground.

Values and dimensions are approximate.

The direct current ratings are intended as a reference guide only. The values listed are for non-Insulated braid in free air at 30C/86F. Values should be derated If the braid is insulated or in close contact with other components. Actual values will depend on a temperature rise and/or a voltage drop in addition to all other factors of service.
OPTIONS: Available in bare copper, Silver plated copper, Nickel plated copper. Some sizes are available In stainless steel. Most sizes meet Federal Specification QQ-B-575. Braid is manufactured to achieve a 90% coverage.
