Overview

The ABB STB040A1559 is a tinned copper flexible braid connector designed for high-current applications requiring reliable, low-resistance connections. This STB Series connector features two NEMA standard 9/16" (14.3 mm) holes spaced 1-3/4" (44.4 mm) center-to-center, with 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" pads for secure mounting. The 22" (559 mm) long braid, 1-1/2" (38.1 mm) wide and 3/16" (4.7 mm) thick, accommodates 30 AWG individual strands, delivering a 400-amp continuous current rating. Ideal for grounding and bonding in industrial, electrical, and OEM applications, the braided design provides flexibility and vibration resistance while maintaining consistent conductivity. Compatible with standard NEMA hole patterns, this connector simplifies installation in panels, enclosures, and busbar systems. The tinned copper construction resists corrosion and ensures long-term performance in harsh environments.
