HEX Tinned Copper Flexible Braids – Crimped with Lugs or Connectors, 4 to 50 sq mm, 50–250 A

HEX tinned copper flexible braids are ready-made bonding links: a flat braid of tinned copper wire crimped at both ends with lugs (HFT) or connectors (HFC). They carry current across hinges, vibrating equipment and expansion points where a solid conductor would crack. Sizes run from 4 to 50 sq mm (50 to 250 A) in lengths of 50 to 300 mm, and other hole sizes, ratings and lengths are made to specification. Made by HEX, the brand of Brass Copper & Alloy (I) Ltd., Mumbai — an ISO 9001 company whose products are tested by CPRI (India), UL (USA), KEMA (Netherlands) and SIRIM (Malaysia).
