Blackburn SWF200A1406 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn SWF200A1406 flexible braid connector used for?
It's a flexible flat braid connector rated 2000A, built for switchgear and transformer terminal connections where a rigid bus bar would transmit vibration or thermal movement. The braid is tin-plated copper, 406 mm long, with a 6-hole pad on one end and a 4-hole pad on the other. It's made to IEEE/ANSI C37.34.
2) Will a 6-hole to 4-hole braid connector bolt to my switchgear pad?
Only if the two pads you're joining match that pattern: one end lands on a 6-hole NEMA-style drilling, the other on a 4-hole. Mismatched drillings won't line up, so confirm the bolt pattern on both the transformer and the switchgear termination before ordering. Overall braid length is 406 mm, which sets how far apart those two pads can sit.
3) How do I order the right Blackburn flexible braid, and what is the part number for the 2000A 406 mm version?
The part number is SWF200A1406: 2000A rating, 6-hole to 4-hole pads, 406 mm braid length. When specifying, you're fixing three things, the ampacity, the hole pattern on each end, and the length between pads. Measure the pad-to-pad distance in the installed position, allowing slack for movement, then match the drilling on both terminations.
4) Why use a flexible braid instead of a solid copper bus bar between a transformer and switchgear?
A braid absorbs vibration, thermal expansion and small alignment errors that a rigid bar would transfer straight into the bushings or breaker studs. This one is a flexible flat braid, so it also keeps a low profile in tight terminal compartments. If your two pads are fixed, coplanar and mechanically isolated already, a solid bar is the cheaper route; if anything moves, the braid is the correct choice.
5) Is the SWF200A1406 braid tinned, and does that matter for aluminum terminals?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. Tin plating slows oxidation on the pad faces and is the normal choice when you're bolting to aluminum bus or terminals, since it reduces the bare copper to aluminum contact. Use the joint compound and torque the terminal manufacturer specifies for the bolt size.
6) What standard does this 2000A switchgear braid connector meet, and is it US made?
Manufactured to IEEE/ANSI C37.34, the standard covering high-voltage air switch connectors, and the country of origin is the United States. That combination is what most utility and institutional specs ask for on switchgear terminal hardware.
7) Does the Blackburn SWF200A1406 come as a single piece or a pair?
It's sold each, so one braid per order. A three-phase connection needs three, and you'd order separately for any neutral or ground run.
