Overview

The ABB FB2D12 Tinned Copper Flexible Braid Connector is a grounding solution designed for high-current applications requiring reliable conductivity and flexibility. This connector features a 12-inch length, 1.25-inch width, and 0.25-inch thickness, with a 2-braid assembly arranged in 1 across and 2 layers. The 153600 circular mil area ensures robust current-carrying capacity, while the 0.438-inch diameter holes with 1.25-inch center-to-center spacing accommodate standard bolt sizes. The 7/16-inch bolt holes provide secure mounting options. The tinned copper construction resists corrosion and oxidation, extending service life in harsh environments. Typical applications include electrical panels, switchgear, transformers, and grounding systems where vibration resistance and thermal cycling stability are critical. The flexible braid design allows for easy installation in tight spaces and compensates for thermal expansion or misalignment. Compatible with copper or aluminum conductors, this connector meets industry standards for grounding performance. Order by SKU FB2D12 for direct replacement or OEM integration.
