Blackburn SWA070A3304 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn SWA070A3304 flexible braid connector used for?
It is a flat flexible braid connector used to make a current-carrying bridge between two bolted connection points, typically across a joint that has to move, vibrate, or expand, such as switchgear bus, transformer pads, or equipment grounding straps. The braid is tin-plated copper, rated 700A, with a single bolt hole at each pad, and it measures 38.1 x 304 mm.
2) Is the SWA070A3304 braid rated for 700 amps continuous?
700A is the ampere rating carried on the SWA070A3304 flexible braid. It is built to IEEE / ANSI C37, 34. If your bus or equipment connection runs above 700A, step up to a higher-rated braid rather than paralleling this one.
3) Does the SWA070A3304 braid have one bolt hole or two per end?
It is a 1-hole connector, so each terminal pad takes a single bolt. That matters when you are matching an existing NEMA two-hole drilled pad: a one-hole braid will land on it, but it will not pick up both bolts and it will not resist rotation the way a two-hole pad does. If the drawing calls for two-hole spacing, order the two-hole version instead.
4) Why tin-plated copper instead of bare copper for a flexible braid connector?
The conductor on this 700A braid is tin-plated copper. The plating resists oxidation at the bolted pads, which keeps contact resistance stable over time, and it is the usual choice where the braid lands on aluminum bus or terminals, since bare copper against aluminum invites galvanic corrosion. Outdoor and damp switchgear locations are the other common reason to specify tinned.
5) Can I use a flexible braid instead of a rigid bus bar link on switchgear?
That is exactly what a braid is for. A rigid link transfers every bit of vibration and thermal growth straight into the bolted joint and the equipment bushing; a flexible flat braid like the 700A SWA070A3304 lets the two ends move relative to each other while still carrying the current. Use rigid bar where the two pads are fixed and aligned, and use braid where there is movement, settling, or install tolerance to absorb.
6) Is the Blackburn SWA070A3304 sold individually or in a pack?
Sold each. One SWA070A3304 braid per unit, so count your connection points and order accordingly. It is made in the United States.
