Blackburn FBE2H090A1-14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the FBE2H090A1-14 braid connector, and will it span my terminal gap?
Overall cable length is 14 inches, and the marked dimensions are 11/32 x 1.5 x 14 inches. Measure the straight-line distance between your two pad centers and leave slack: a braid jumper is meant to be installed with a bend so it can flex, not pulled taut, so a 14 inch braid should be landing on pads well short of 14 inches apart.
2) Is this braid connector a two-hole terminal on each end?
Yes, it is built as a 2-hole connector, so each pad bolts down with two fasteners. Two-hole landings resist the rotation a single bolt allows, which matters on a flexible jumper that gets moved by thermal cycling. Match your equipment pad drilling to the pad holes before ordering.
3) What is the Blackburn FBE2H090A1-14 flexible braid connector used for?
It is an extra flexible braid connector with two bolt holes, used to make a flexible current-carrying connection between rigid bus or equipment terminals, typically on switchgear and disconnect apparatus where thermal movement, vibration, or slight misalignment has to be absorbed. The conductor is flat tin-plated copper braid, so it flexes without loading the terminals it lands on.
4) Can I use a flat braid jumper instead of a solid copper bar between two bus pads?
That is exactly the trade-off this part is for. A solid bar is rigid and transmits every bit of thermal growth and vibration into the terminals; a flat flexible braid like the FBE2H090A1-14 carries the current while letting the two ends move relative to each other. Use the braid wherever the connection crosses an expansion point, a hinged or moving switch blade, or equipment mounted on separate structures. Use solid bar where the geometry is fixed and you want mechanical support.
5) Does the FBE2H090A1-14 come as a single piece or in a pack, and are bolts included?
It sells as each, one braid connector per unit, so order one per connection point. Mounting hardware is a separate item; specify bolts, Belleville or flat washers, and nuts sized to your pad drilling and torque spec.
6) Why tin-plated copper braid instead of bare copper?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating slows oxidation on the strands and the landing pads, which keeps contact resistance stable over time, and it is the usual choice for outdoor or humid substation and switchgear service. Bare copper in the same duty tends to build oxide at the bolted joint.
7) Is the Blackburn FBE2H090A1-14 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what utility and municipal buyers working to domestic-content purchasing rules generally need documented on substation connectors. The manufacturer part number to reference on the order is FBE2H090A1-14.
