Braided Copper / Aluminium Flexible Wire Connectors

Braided flexible wire connectors, made from copper or aluminium, are essential components used to provide flexible, low-resistance electrical connections between moving parts or where mechanical vibration and thermal expansion occur. These connectors offer high conductivity, durability, and resistance to mechanical stress, making them vital in power distribution, switchgear, grounding, and industrial machinery.

Construction and Design:

• Material: Annealed Copper or Aluminium strands

• Structure: Tightly woven or braided into flexible bundles

• End Terminals: Crimped, soldered, or welded lugs or ferrules (can be tinned, silver, or plain finish)

• Customization: Available in various lengths, cross-sectional areas, and terminations based on application needs

Braided Copper Flexible Connectors

Key Features:
