Overview

The ABB STB Series STB040A1457 is a standard flexible braid connector meticulously constructed from tinned copper, a material chosen for its inherent excellent conductivity and superior corrosion resistance. This high-quality connector is engineered to provide reliable and robust electrical connections, specifically designed for demanding industrial environments. It features two precisely positioned mounting holes, each conforming to the NEMA standard with a 9/16 inch (14.3 mm) diameter. These holes are spaced at a consistent 1-3/4 inches (44.4 mm) center to center, which is crucial for facilitating secure and stable attachment to a wide range of equipment. The flexible braid itself possesses a substantial length of 18 inches (457 mm), offering ample reach for various installation needs. Its width measures 1-1/2 inches (38.1 mm), and it has a substantial thickness of 3/16 inch (4.7 mm), indicating a robust construction capable of handling significant electrical loads. The mounting pads, to which the braid is attached, are dimensioned at 3-1/2 inches by 1-1/2 inches, providing a generous surface area for secure fastening. Each complete assembly includes one braid, which is expertly constructed from individual strands of 30 AWG wire. This specific strand gauge is selected to ensure optimal flexibility, allowing the connector to accommodate movement and vibration without compromising its electrical integrity, while also contributing to its overall current carrying capacity.
