In electrical and electronic cables, braid is a tubular sheath made of braided strands of metal placed around a central cable for shielding against electromagnetic interference. The braid is grounded while the central conductor or conductors carry the signal.

Another use is for lit wire which uses braids of thin insulated wires to carry high frequency signals with much lower losses from skin effect or to minimise proximity effect in transformers. Please contact us for more information. Flat braids made of many copper wires are also sometimes used for flexible electrical connections between large components. The numerous smaller wires comprising the braid are much more resistant to breaking under repeated motion and vibration than is a cable of larger wires.

Copper braid is made from weaving together strands of copper wire. The flexibility of the braid is determined by the diameter of the copper wire. The smaller the wire the greater the flexibility and the larger the volume occupied by the braid and the more expensive the braid becomes. Our standard sizes are 0.2, 0.1 and 0.05 mm diameter although other sizes are available on request.

Flexibility is also determined by the type of weave. Flat braids are flexible in one axis. Round braids are flexible in 2 axis but rope braids are even more flexible than round braids, but also more expensive. An explanation of the construction of a copper braid is on our Products page.

We manufacture and Copper Braid Bond. These flexible Copper Braid Bond are used for bonding metal gates, doors, fences etc. Other lengths and sizes are available on request.

Flexible electrical connectors solve high-voltage connectivity problems created by vibration from generators and transformers. When used as the initial connector from vibration-producing equipment to a power distribution network, flexible connectors (or flexible braided jumpers) isolate the main electrical grounding bus work from the cause of vibration.

And while flexible braided connectors are more expensive than using copper bus bar, flex braid returns the investment by cutting the potential cost of down time, maintenance and energy loss created by loose electrical connections.

In addition to the positive aspects of flex braid, the most advantageous feature of this versatile connector is evident in its name – flexibility. A cable or cable harness with the same current-carrying ampacity is much stiffer and unwieldy. A cable that will carry 750 amps is fairly easy to work in 20-foot lengths, but bending a shorter piece and routing it around other objects becomes very difficult. In addition to their stiff, unwieldy nature, cables are rigid and transmit vibration.

Even though many of our products are standard items, we also make special tailor made products made exactly to the requirements of our customers.

Solid vs. stranded

Single-strand copper wire, also called solid wire or solid-core wire, consists of one piece of copper metal wire surrounded by an insulator. Single-strand copper conductors are typically used as magnet wire in motors and transformers. They are relatively rigid, do not bend easily, and are typically installed in permanent, infrequently handled, and low flex applications.

Single strand copper wires also provide mechanical ruggedness and good protection against the environment. A stranded copper wire refers to a group of copper wires that are braided or twisted together. A stranded copper wire is more flexible and easier to install than a single-strand copper wire of the same cross section. Stranding also improves wire longevity for applications with moderate to high vibration. A particular cross-section of a stranded conductor gives it essentially the same resistance characteristics as a single-strand conductor, but with added flexibility.

We manufacture Flexible Stranded Ropes of Copper. Our range of Copper

Conductor/Conductors also includes Round copper braids and Flexible Stranded Ropes of Copper. Our Flexible Stranded Ropes of Copper is available with plain, tinned, nickel-plated or silver-plated surfaces, depending on your application

Our Flexible Stranded Ropes of Copper stand out by being highly twist-free and having a compact cutting surface, which is important for your problem-free further processing. Our round copper rope can be woven with a left or right hand twist.

Copper Braid Construction

The construction of Copper braid is usually written as:
48 / 30 / 0.15, where:
48 = the number of carriers
30 =the number of wires per carrier
0.15 = the diameter of each wire in mm
The cross sectional area (CSA) of a copper braid can be calculated from this information:

(Carriers x wires per carrier x wire diameter ² x 3.142) / 4
So, for a copper braid with the specification: 48 / 30 / 0.15, this would be:

48 x 30 x 0.15² x 3.142 / 4 = 101.80
=25.45 mm²
