Blackburn FBE1H070A1-24 XFLEX BRAID 9/16H 3/8 x 1.5 X 24 IN

It's an extra flexible braid connector with a single bolt hole per end, used to make a flexible current-carrying connection between rigid bus, switchgear terminals, or grounding points where movement, thermal expansion, or vibration would stress a solid bar. The conductor is flat, tin-plated copper braid, 24 inches long, sold each.

The terminal pads take a 3/8 inch bolt and measure 1.5 inches across, with a 9/16 inch hole spacing dimension called out in the part description. Overall braid length is 24 inches. Match the 3/8 inch hole against the drilling in your bus bar or ground pad before ordering.

It is built to CEI 60694 and IEEE/ANSI C37.34-1994, the switchgear standard covering flexible connectors. That is the citation a utility or institutional spec reviewer usually wants on a substation or switchgear submittal.

A solid link transmits every bit of movement and thermal growth into the bolted joint and the equipment terminal. A flexible flat braid absorbs that motion, so it is what you use across breaker terminals, disconnects, transformer bushings, and expansion points. If the two connection points are rigid and fixed relative to each other, a solid bar is simpler and cheaper.

Yes. The braid is tin-plated copper, and tin plating is the standard way to make a copper conductor acceptable for bolting to aluminum bus or aluminum pads, since it keeps bare copper off the aluminum at the joint. Tin also slows oxidation on the contact face in damp or outdoor enclosures.

Country of origin is the United States, which is what agency and federally funded jobs ask for on a domestic-content submittal.

No hardware is included, it is the braid connector alone, sold each. Order the 3/8 inch bolts, nuts, and Belleville or flat washers separately to suit your pad thickness and the torque spec for the joint.

The manufacturer part number is FBE1H070A1-24. The trailing 24 is the braid length in inches, and the 1H in the family designation is the single-hole pad configuration. Quote that full number when specifying, since Blackburn builds the same braid in other lengths and hole patterns.
