GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: a specific number of ends of wire, braided with a specific number of carriers (strands) which is subsequently mill-rolled for specific width and thickness.

GENERAL USES: A flat braid has a specific current-carrying capacity. High currents are easily carried at low voltages. Typically used as a flexible ground strap where flexibility, strange configurations and solderability are of prime importance.

PART NUMBERS IN White ARE MOST COMMONLY USED.F36T0171

GENERALLY USED FOR SHIELDING

TINNED COPPER TUBULAR BRAIDS
FOR MIL-SPEC QQB-575 (REV) PART NUMBER & INFO REQUEST

THESE BRAIDS CAN BE NICKEL PLATED UPON REQUEST
Percentage Plating- The quantity of plating on a conductor express as percentage by weight. The term is misleading 2.5% plating on an AWG 40 is 16 microinches thick, while 2.5% plating in a AWG 30 is 53 microinches think.

All Tinned Copper Tubular Braids are made with the individual ends of wire that conform to the ASTM-B 33 specification.

STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDS MAY BE CONSTRUCTED WITH TYPES 302, 304, 321, 0R 430. THE DIFFERENCES WILL BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: Braid is formed to maintain coverage of 90% shielding over the nominal diameters specified. (70% for .078" and smaller.)

GENERAL USES: As required by Allied Mil-specs and other industrial specifications. Contact us for special constructions not listed.
