Overview

The ABB EXB170A1508 is a tinned copper, extra flexible braid connector from the EXB Series. This connector is engineered with two-hole pads featuring NEMA Standard 9/16 inch (14.3 mm) holes. The center-to-center spacing of these holes is 1-3/4 inch (44.4 mm). The overall length of the braid connector is 20 inch (508 mm). The width of the braid is 1-9/16 inch (40 mm), and its thickness is 3/4 inch (19 mm). The dimensions of each pad are 3-1/2 inch by 1-9/16 inch. This assembly comprises 9 individual braids. Each individual strand within the braids is 36 AWG. The tinned copper construction provides enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. The extra flexibility of the braid allows for ease of installation and accommodates movement in electrical connections. The two-hole pad design with NEMA standard hole sizes and spacing ensures compatibility with standard mounting hardware and facilitates secure electrical connections. The construction with multiple 36 AWG strands contributes to the overall flexibility and current-carrying capacity of the connector.
