Blackburn FBE1H050A1-16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bolt size will the FBE1H050A1-16 braid connector accept?
The terminal pads carry a 9/16 inch hole, so it lands on a 1/2 inch bolt or stud with normal clearance. Check the bolt pattern on your equipment pad before ordering, since this is a 1-hole termination at each end rather than a two-hole NEMA pad.
2) What standards does this Blackburn extra-flexible braid connector meet?
It is built to CEI 60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994, the high-voltage switchgear and air disconnect switch standards. That is the spec line to quote when a utility or substation submittal asks for it.
3) What is the Blackburn FBE1H050A1-16 flexible braid connector used for?
It is a flat, extra-flexible tin-plated copper braid jumper with a single bolt hole at each end, used to bond or connect two points that move or vibrate relative to each other, such as switchgear, disconnect blades, transformer terminals, and equipment grounding straps. The braid construction lets the connection flex without fatiguing a solid conductor. The braid is 16 inches long and sold each.
4) How long is the Blackburn XFLEX braid jumper and how wide is the braid?
Overall length is 16 inches, and the braid section measures 1/4 by 1.5 inches in cross section. That gives you a flat strap rather than a round cable, which matters when the jumper has to lie against a bus or fit into a tight cabinet.
5) Is the Blackburn FBE1H050A1-16 braid suitable for outdoor or damp switchgear enclosures?
The conductor is tin-plated copper, which is the standard plating used to slow corrosion and keep contact resistance stable in humid or outdoor switchgear environments, and it is the correct pairing for aluminum or plated bus pads. Bare copper braid would be the wrong choice there.
6) Is the Blackburn FBE1H050A1-16 made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what government, utility, and federally funded procurement usually needs documented on a bonding jumper.
7) Can I cut this braid jumper down or drill the pads to fit my bolt pattern?
No. The FBE1H050A1-16 is a factory-fused assembly with the 9/16 inch hole formed into each end pad, so cutting or re-drilling destroys the compression and the standards compliance. If 16 inches or a 9/16 hole is wrong for your opening, order the braid length and hole size that matches instead.
8) Do I order this braid connector by the piece or in a pack?
Selling unit is each, so one order gets you one 16 inch braid jumper. If you are jumping both sides of a switch or bonding a pair of points, count the pieces accordingly.
