Blackburn FBE2H090A1-16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does this Blackburn braid connector meet switchgear connector standards?
The braid is built to CEI 60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994, which is the flexible connector standard referenced for switchgear and disconnect applications. If your spec calls out C37.34, this one answers it.
2) What is the Blackburn FBE2H090A1-16 flexible braid connector used for?
It's an extra flexible braid connector with a two-hole pad on each end, used as a flexible jumper or shunt between rigid bus or switchgear terminals. The braid is tin-plated copper and flat in shape, so it carries current across a joint that has to move, expand, or absorb vibration without stressing the bus. Overall cable length is 16 inches. Sold individually.
3) Do I get a pair of braids, or one, when I order FBE2H090A1-16?
One. The selling unit is each, so a job that needs a jumper per phase takes three, and a three-phase set with a neutral takes four. Order the count per connection point, not per assembly.
4) Why is the braid tin-plated rather than bare copper?
Tin plating on the copper braid limits oxidation at the bolted pad interface, which is where contact resistance and heating show up first. It also lets the braid bolt to aluminum bus without a bare-copper-to-aluminum couple. Bare copper braid works, but on outdoor or humid switchgear the plated version holds joint resistance better over time.
5) Is the Blackburn FBE2H090A1-16 made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the FBE2H090A1-16 braid connector is the United States. That matters if you are buying under a domestic preference requirement on a utility or government substation job.
