Find our braid product types and specification information – including sizing, width, and thickness information – and in the documents below:
- Flat – A flat braid has a specific current carrying capacity. High currents are easily carried at low voltages. Typically used as a ground strap when flexibility, strange configurations and solder-ability are of prime importance. Braid provides a low resistance ground path.
- Rope – Manufactured with fine strand wire to achieve the ultimate in flexibility and where extended flex-life is a primary consideration. Excellent for shunts, grounds, leads, and flexible jumpers.
- Tubular – 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.
