Braided Copper Ground Straps: Flat and Tinned

Braided copper strips are primarily used for electrical grounding, bonding, and EMI shielding. Our tinned copper straps provide a reliable, low-resistance path to ground for equipment, vehicles, and enclosures, protecting personnel and sensitive electronics from electrical faults and static discharge.

The correct size depends on the required current-carrying capacity (ampacity) and environmental factors. Key considerations include the cross-sectional area, braid construction, and termination method. Our team can help you select a strap that meets your specific amperage requirements and ensures a safe, reliable connection.

Tinning the copper braid provides excellent corrosion resistance, especially in humid or industrial environments where oxidation can degrade performance. The tin coating also makes soldering easier and ensures a long-lasting, low-resistance connection, maintaining the integrity of the ground path over the product's service life.

We offer various termination options, including factory-installed crimped lugs, terminals, and splices. Straps can also be prepared for direct bolting or soldering. This flexibility ensures a secure and reliable mechanical and electrical connection to your equipment, chassis, or ground point.

A flat braid provides a larger surface area compared to a round braid of the same cross-section. This is advantageous for dissipating heat and providing a lower impedance path for high-frequency signals, making it more effective for EMI/RFI shielding. Its low profile is also ideal for installations where space is limited.

Yes, our straps are ideal for automotive and marine use. Their high flexibility accommodates engine vibration, while the tin coating provides excellent protection against corrosion from road salt, moisture, and harsh marine environments. They ensure reliable grounding for battery, engine, and chassis components.
