Blackburn SWA035A1610 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many bolt holes does this Blackburn braid connector have, and does that affect how I mount it?
It's a one-hole standard flexible braid connector, so each terminal is fastened with a single bolt. A single-hole pad will let the terminal pivot under vibration, so torque it properly and use a lock washer. If the equipment pad is drilled two-hole NEMA spacing, order a two-hole braid instead of trying to make this one work.
2) Is the SWA035A1610 braid bare copper or plated?
Tin-plated copper, in a flexible braid construction. The plating matters outdoors and in substation yards where a bare copper braid would oxidize at the bolted pad and drive up contact resistance over time.
3) What standard does the Blackburn SWA035A1610 braid meet for switchgear use?
It is built to IEEE / ANSI C37 and 34, the switchgear and high-voltage air switch standards. That is the reference an inspector or a utility spec writer looks for when a flexible shunt is used across a disconnect switch or an expansion joint.
4) Why use a flexible braid jumper instead of a solid copper bar or a cable jumper?
A flat flexible braid absorbs movement. Where a rigid bar would transfer thermal expansion, switch-blade travel, or vibration into the bolted connection and eventually crack it, the braid flexes instead. Compared with a round stranded cable jumper, the flat shape lies closer to the pad and gives more surface for the same cross section. Use a rigid bus where the connection never moves; use this where it does.
5) What exactly do I order to get this part right?
Blackburn, part number SWA035A1610. That single number fixes the one-hole flat braid terminal configuration, the tin-plated copper construction, and the 610 mm length, so there is nothing further to specify.
6) Is the SWA035A1610 sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each. For a three-phase switch you'll want three, and it is worth adding a spare since these are cut-to-length factory assemblies and cannot be shortened in the field.
7) Is the Blackburn SWA035A1610 braid made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what procurement needs when a job carries Buy American or domestic-content language on the electrical package.
