Engineered for reliable electrical bonding and electromagnetic shielding, our tinned copper braided mesh tubing series delivers exceptional performance across diverse industrial environments. The range features multiple configurations to match precise project demands, including a High Density Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube that maximizes current-carrying capacity through a tightly woven structure, a Flexible 120C Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube suited for routing around tight corners without compromising connection integrity, a robust 120C Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube that balances tensile strength with reliable service at elevated temperatures, and a Soft 120C Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube prized for its conformability in wrapping irregular bus bars and cable assemblies. Each variant is produced from high-purity copper strands electroplated with a uniform tin coating, ensuring optimal corrosion resistance and low contact resistance even in humid or mildly corrosive atmospheres. Consistent braid angles and controlled strand tension guarantee repeatable mechanical and electrical characteristics, helping engineers streamline grounding, bonding, and EMI/RFI mitigation tasks across power generation, telecommunications, transportation, and marine sectors.
The Lightweight 120C Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube addresses applications where reducing system mass is critical without sacrificing the conductive and shielding properties of full-weight copper braids. Constructed from fine-gauge tinned copper wires woven into an open tubular braid, this variant achieves significant weight savings while maintaining a continuous 120°C thermal rating. The mesh geometry provides inherent flexibility, enabling easy manipulation around cable harnesses, hydraulic lines, and structural members. Its lightweight nature simplifies handling during installation and lessens the mechanical load on supported components, making it particularly suitable for aerospace, defense, and portable equipment designs where every gram counts. Despite the reduced material content, the tinned copper construction ensures durable protection against oxidation and galvanic corrosion, preserving long-term electrical stability. This tubing can be expanded diametrically to slip over connectors and then relaxed for a snug fit, or it can be compressed for a streamlined profile inside narrow enclosures.
