Flexible braid for high-current connections that vibrate

By Paul Dvorak | July 23, 2012

Flex Braid connectors are ideal for grounding electrical cabinet doors, fence-post gates, and in applications with vibration, expansion, and contraction. This includes generators, turbines, motors, substations, transformers, switch gear, and solar and wind applications.

Equipment in wind-turbine nacelles tend to vibrate creating the need for critical electrical connections that withstand vibration. ILSCO provides a connector in the form of a tin-plated copper, flexible braid connector which is intended to grounding and connecting moving parts. The company providing includes about 100 sizes in lengths of 12, 18 and 24 in., and Amp ratings from 95 to 1,600A.

The ferrules have rounded smooth edges to prevent chaffing of braid strands, and thicknesses range from 0.125 to 0.5 in. depending on current loads. Widths range from 0.625 to 3.0 in. The braid is manufactured from pure copper, and seamless-copper ferrules for superior contact, and they are RoHS compliant. The high quality, flexible braid electrical connectors for power and grounding applications are UL Listed and CSA Certified for grounding per UL467, File E34440.
