Blackburn FBE1H035A3-13 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size does the Blackburn FBE1H035A3-13 flexible braid connector bolt to?
The FBE1H035A3-13 is a 1-hole braid connector with a 7/16 inch hole at each terminal pad, so it lands on 3/8 inch hardware with clearance. One hole per end means a single bolt per connection, so if your bus or equipment pad is drilled for two-hole NEMA spacing you want a 2-hole braid instead.
2) How long is the Blackburn FBE1H035A3-13 braid connector, and what are the braid dimensions?
Overall length is 13 inches, and the braid section measures 3/16 by 1.5 inches. That flat cross section is what lets it flex while still carrying the connection, so measure hole center to hole center on your opening before you commit to the 13 inch size.
3) Does this Blackburn braid connector meet switchgear connector standards for a spec job?
It is built to CEI 60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994, the standards that cover high voltage switchgear and air switch connector requirements. If your drawing calls out C37.34, this braid answers that line. Country of origin is the United States, which also settles most domestic-preference procurement questions.
4) Why use a flexible braid connector instead of a solid copper bus link between two pads?
A braid absorbs movement that a rigid link cannot. The FBE1H035A3 is an extra flexible flat braid, so it takes thermal expansion, vibration, and the travel of a moving contact or disconnect arm without stressing the bolted joints. Use rigid bar where both ends are fixed and nothing moves; use this where one end shifts.
5) What is the Blackburn XFLEX braid made of, and will it hold up in a damp or outdoor switchgear enclosure?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is there to keep the copper strands from oxidizing at the surface, which is what matters in humid or outdoor gear where a bare copper braid would discolor and build resistance at the joint over time.
6) Does a flexible braid shunt come with mounting bolts or washers?
No hardware is included with the FBE1H035A3-13. It ships as the braid with its terminal pads drilled 7/16 inch, so plan on supplying your own bolt, nut, flat and lock washers, and any Belleville washers your switchgear spec calls for at the bolted joint.
7) Is the Blackburn FBE1H035A3-13 sold individually or in a pack?
Each. One braid per unit, so if you are jumpering both sides of a switch or connecting three phases, order the quantity you need per connection. The manufacturer part number to reference is FBE1H035A3-13.
