Back << Tinned Copper OVAL Braid >> Printer Friendly Page

GENERAL USES: Oval 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 wires or cables. Shielding is achieved by insertion of the wire or cable into the braid or by inserting a shielded cable to maximize the braid coverage. Braid provides a low res- istance 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 3OC/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 or some sizes in Stainless steel. See chart under wire specifications. Conforms to Federal Specification QQ-B-575 although some sizes are not listed. Braid is manufactured to achieve a 90% coverage.
