Overview

The ABB FB2XD-1 Series Flexible Braid Connector (SKU: FB2XD12-1) is a tin-plated copper braided connector designed for high-current, low-resistance bonding applications. This 12.00-inch-long x 1.25-inch-wide x 0.3-inch-thick connector features a 0.563-inch diameter mounting hole, making it ideal for secure, vibration-resistant connections in industrial and electrical systems. The braid is constructed with 2 layers (1 across x 2 thick) for enhanced flexibility and current-carrying capacity. The tin plating provides corrosion resistance and ensures long-term conductivity, even in harsh environments. The 1.25-inch wide x 1.5-inch long pad area allows for robust attachment to grounding or bonding surfaces. This connector is part of the FB2XD series, a standard offering from ABB Installation Products, trusted for reliability in electrical grounding, bonding, and shielding applications. Common uses include panel-to-panel bonding, equipment grounding, and surge protection systems where flexible, low-impedance connections are required. The compact dimensions and high conductivity make it suitable for tight spaces or applications requiring minimal resistance. Order this connector (SKU: FB2XD12-1) for dependable performance in industrial electrical installations.
