Blackburn FBE2H170A1-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn FBE2H170A1-12 bonding jumper used for?
It's an extra-flexible braided bonding jumper, 12 inches long, with a two-hole terminal pad on each end. The braid construction lets it flex, so it's used to maintain an electrical bond across joints that move or separate: equipment doors and hinged panels, expansion fittings in conduit runs, isolated equipment frames, and pull-box covers. The two-hole pads resist rotation under torque, which is why they're used on switchgear and equipment bus connections rather than a single-bolt lug.
2) Is the FBE2H170A1-12 braid insulated?
No. This Blackburn jumper is a bare, non-insulated braid. Plan for it to be conductive along its whole length and keep clearance from energized parts and sharp edges inside the enclosure. If your installation calls for an insulated jumper, this isn't the part.
3) How long is the Blackburn FBE2H170A1-12 jumper, and is that the braid length or overall?
The stated length is 12 inches (304.8 mm), and the product name calls out a 9 braid length, so the 12 inch figure is the overall part dimension with the terminal pads included. Measure hole-center to hole-center on what you're replacing before you commit, since the pads take up part of that 12 inches.
4) Does the Blackburn FBE2H170A1-12 come with bolts or hardware to land it?
It ships as a bare jumper, sold each, with no mounting bolts, nuts, or washers. You supply the hardware to match the pad hole size and the tapped or drilled holes in your equipment. For a two-hole pad, use both holes: that's the point of the configuration, and a single bolt lets the pad spin.
5) Should I use a flexible braid jumper or just run a solid copper bonding conductor?
Use the braid wherever the two bonded points move relative to each other. A solid or stranded copper conductor work-hardens and eventually cracks at a hinge, a vibrating motor frame, or a conduit expansion fitting. The extra-flexible braid absorbs that movement. For a straight, static bond between fixed points, a standard grounding conductor and lug is the simpler answer. This Blackburn jumper is the flexible option, 12 inches long with two-hole pads.
6) What part number do I order for the 12 inch two-hole Blackburn flexible bonding jumper?
Order Blackburn FBE2H170A1-12. That's the manufacturer part number for the 12 inch extra-flexible braided jumper with two-hole pads, sold individually. The -12 suffix is the length call-out, so if a drawing specifies a different jumper length in the same family, the trailing number changes.
7) Does the Blackburn FBE2H170A1-12 meet a recognized standard, and where is it made?
NEMA is the standard cited for this jumper, and it's manufactured in the United States. That combination matters on federal, institutional, and Buy American specified projects, where domestic origin on grounding and bonding components gets checked at submittal.
