Flat braided copper wires
Flat braided copper wires
Because of their flexibility, flat braided copper wires are ideal for use as cables to attach to connectors of electrical apparatus and electrolytic cells as well as ground wires.
Main applications
Flexible conductors for bus ducts / lead wires for electrolytic cells / lead wire for pantographs / ground wires for batteries / lead wires for magnetic switches / other lead wires requiring flexibility / ground wires, and so on.
Characteristics
Our flat braided copper wires have excellent flexibility, and are thus ideally suited for use within the movable parts of electric/electronic devices. And, their larger surface areas relative to stranded wires allow for superior heat dissipation, which enables devices to accommodate a larger maximum permissible current. Furthermore, as they naturally absorb the vibration of devices, the loosening of terminals is prevented. Flat braided copper wires are also optimal for devices operating at low voltages with larger currents. And, when larger currents are necessary, multiple flat braided copper wires can easily be arranged within a confined space, providing versatility and convenience.
Construction
Bundles of annealed copper wires, tin-plated annealed copper wires and other metal element wires are braided,separately or together,to produce hollow round braided wires and flat braided wires.
