Blackburn FBS4H235A1-26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the Blackburn FBS4H235A1-26 flex braid, and how many bolt holes does it have?
Cable length is 26 inches, and it is a 4-hole pattern. The published size string for the part reads 4 9/16H 1/2 x 3 x 26 in, so lay the braid out against your bus centers before drilling or ordering to confirm the hole pattern lines up with your existing pads.
2) What is the Blackburn FBS4H235A1-26 flexible braid connector used for?
It is a 4-hole flexible braid connector, a flat tin-plated copper braid used to make a current-carrying connection between two rigid points that need to move, expand, or absorb vibration, such as bus bar to bus bar or a switchgear connection. The braid flexes where a solid bar or rigid link cannot.
3) Is the braid on the Blackburn FBS4H235A1-26 bare copper or plated?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what keeps the braid strands from oxidizing at the contact faces, which matters in outdoor switchgear and damp plant environments where a bare copper braid would build resistance over time.
4) Why choose a flat braid connector instead of a round flexible cable jumper?
A flat braid like the FBS4H235A1-26 presents a wide, low-profile contact face that bolts flush to a bus pad, and it flexes in one plane, so it suits bus-to-bus and switchgear links where clearance is tight. A round flexible jumper bends in any direction and routes better around obstructions, but it does not sit flat against a pad the same way. This one is the flat, 4-hole bolted style.
5) What part number should I quote for the 26 inch 4-hole Blackburn flex braid?
The manufacturer part number is FBS4H235A1-26, from Blackburn. The trailing 26 is the 26 inch cable length, so adjacent lengths in the same family carry a different suffix.
6) Does the Blackburn FBS4H235A1-26 flex braid come with bolts or hardware?
The braid is supplied as the connector itself, with a 4-hole bolt pattern at the terminations. Bolts, nuts, washers and any Belleville hardware for the bus pads are separate, so add them to your order based on the hole size and the pad you are landing on.
7) Is the Blackburn FBS4H235A1-26 sold individually or in a pack, and is it made in the USA?
Sold each, one braid per unit, so order one per connection point you need to make. Country of origin is the United States, which covers domestic-content requirements on government and utility work where that gets asked.
