In advanced electronics and communication systems, effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression depends on reliable grounding and shielding components. Our range of nickel-plated copper flat braided wires addresses these needs with low impedance and high flexibility. The lineup includes the Flexible Nickel-Plated Copper Flat Braided Wire for general-purpose shielding, alongside precision width variants such as 0.1mm Nickel-Plated Copper Flat Braided Wire, 0.15mm Nickel-Plated Copper Flat Braided Wire, and 0.2mm Nickel-Plated Copper Flat Braided Wire. Each conductor employs high-purity oxygen-free copper braids with an electrolytic nickel layer, resulting in excellent surface conductivity, corrosion resistance, and solderability. The flat geometry minimizes inductance and ensures consistent contact across seams, enclosures, and movable joints. Typical applications span telecom cabinets, medical imaging devices, military-grade electronics, and high-speed data transmission equipment. Below is a technical comparison of the key specifications across available widths.

These flat braided wires provide consistent performance under vibration and mechanical stress. The nickel plating not only enhances surface durability but also delivers a stable contact interface over thousands of mating cycles. Customers can order custom lengths, terminal fittings, and multiple layers for increased current handling.
0.15mm High Frequency Shielding Flat Braided Wire delivers an optimal balance between compact dimensions and electrical performance. Designed for high-density electronic assemblies, this wire features a braid structure consisting of 16 to 48 strands of 0.05mm copper wires, each electroplated with a minimum 2 µm nickel layer. The resulting flat conductor width of 0.15mm ±0.02mm and thickness ranging from 0.25mm to 1.2mm allow installation in tight spaces without sacrificing shielding integrity. Its low inductance per unit length (typically below 0.8 µH/m) and high-frequency attenuation above 65 dB at 100 MHz make it suitable for RF shielding, flex circuits grounding, and mobile device chassis interconnection.

The ultra-thin profile of this braided wire enables integration into flexible printed circuits, wearable devices, and miniature connectors where conventional round cables introduce bulk. Its flat surface area improves thermal dissipation and reduces skin effect losses at elevated frequencies. The nickel finish remains oxide-free under humid conditions, guaranteeing long-term electrical stability. Customizations such as silver top coat, tinned ends, or partial insulation are available on request. The wire is supplied on spools, in cut lengths, or with pre-attached lugs to streamline assembly processes.
