Blackburn EXA035A3500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn EXA035A3500 flexible braid connector used for?
It's a flat, extra-flexible tin-plated copper braid connector used to make a flexible current-carrying connection between rigid bus or equipment terminals, typically where vibration, thermal expansion, or slight misalignment would stress a solid bar. One terminal pad has a single bolt hole, and the braid is 500 mm long. Built to IEEE / ANSI C37, 34.
2) What bolt size does the EXA035A3500 braid connector terminal take?
The pad is drilled for 7/16 inch hardware, one hole per terminal. Bolts, nuts, and washers aren't part of the connector, so order hardware separately and match it to the mating bus pad drilling.
3) Is the EXA035A3500 braid tinned, and does that matter for aluminum bus?
The conductor is tin-plated copper. The tin plating is what lets it bolt to aluminum bus or terminals without bare copper-to-aluminum contact, and it holds up better in damp or industrial air than bare copper. Still use an approved joint compound and the bus manufacturer's torque spec.
4) Should I use a flexible braid shunt or solid bus bar between two terminals?
Use a braid where the two ends move relative to each other: switch blades, transformer or generator terminations, expansion points, or anywhere vibration would fatigue a rigid link. Solid bar is the right call for fixed, aligned runs where you want mechanical rigidity. This part is the flexible option, flat profile, and it's sold one per order.
5) Is the EXA035A3500 sold individually or in pairs?
Sold each. A shunt connection usually needs one piece per phase, so count your phases (and any neutral or ground shunt) and order accordingly.
6) Is the Blackburn EXA035A3500 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what utility and public-works buyers need for domestic-content documentation. The orderable part number is EXA035A3500.
