BRAID - BUS BAR
TINNED COPPER FLAT BRAID, SPECIFICATIONS AA59569F*
OLYMPIC
DESCRIPTION:
A woven braid, composed of
tinned copper strands, which is
rolled flat at time of manufacture
to a specific width depending
upon construction.
APPLICATION:
Flat braid is usually employed
for its current carrying capacity
and its extreme flexibility. It is
generally used as a high current
conductor at low voltages.
Battery grounding is typical of
this application. It is also used
as a bonding strap in vehicles
and aircraft to help eliminate
ignition interference. Because
of its extreme flexibility it can
be used in confined areas or
as electrical connections on
moving parts.
OLYMPIC
DESCRIPTION:
A woven tinned copper braid
which is manufactured
completely round as outlined
in AA59569R. Each
strand of the braid is soft drawn
tinned copper wire. The braid
is self-supporting and maintains
its round configuration. The
percentage of shielding coverage
is 95% or more when placed
over a mandrel of an equivalent
diameter to the inside braid
diameter.
APPLICATIONS:
Maximum shielding against
electrostatic interference for
wires,cables and other
components. Also as a protective
covering against mechanical
abrasion and stresses.
