Flexible Copper Conductors serve high-temperature applications.

Press Release Summary:



Flexible, copper braid assemblies are suited for heat dissipation in high-current applications when water cooling is not possible. Able to be made to specifications, these flexible connectors are also manufactured to compensate for vibration and expansion/contraction of bus bars as well as to deliver minimum resistance values. Current capacity to 3,200 A is available, and standard braids are available in 9 widths from 1–6 in. Copper can be bare or plated with silver, nickel, or tin.



Original Press Release:



Nickel Coated Flexible Copper Conductors for High Temperature Applications



Watteredge LLC is proud to announce the availability of nickel coated,flexible copper braid assemblies for high current,high temperature applications.



When water cooling is not an option in high temperture conditions, the nickel coated, braided assemblies from Watteredge LLC have been proven to be an excellent option for heat dissipation.



Working closely with key accounts, Watteredge LLC has tested and developed  these products for improved life expectancy, and significant reduction in production downtime due to premature flexible copper conductor failures in the field.



Watteredge’s braided flexible connectors and braided cables deliver the maximum amount of electrical power at peak efficiency. Our braided flexible connectors can be made to exact specifications. These flexible copper connectors are also manufactured to compensate for vibration, expansion/contraction of bus bars and to deliver minimum resistance values. If you request it, the connector ends can be press welded into a homogeneous terminal. This process creates a cable termination with half the resistance of typical compression terminals.



STANDARD BRAIDS are available in 1”, 1-1/4”, 1-3/8”, 1-1/2”, 2”, 3”, 4”, 5” and 6” width. Drilling patterns are NEMA standards. Ferrules are typically 3” long (max 5-7/8”). Copper can be bare, Silver , nickel or tin-plated. Current capacity to 3200 amps is available in a single braid assembly.
