Engineered for superior conductivity and mechanical resilience, the Soft 120C Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube delivers exceptional performance in grounding, shielding, and flexible electrical connections. This high-quality braiding combines a 120°C temperature rating with tin-plated copper wire to resist oxidation and corrosion in demanding industrial environments. For projects requiring enhanced durability, the High Density Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube variant offers increased strand count for lower resistance and higher current capacity. When installation demands flexibility without sacrificing conductivity, the Flexible 120C Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube adapts seamlessly to tight routing paths and dynamic motion. Our standard 120C Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube strikes an ideal balance between performance and economy, while the Lightweight 120C Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube reduces mass in weight-sensitive applications such as aerospace harnesses or portable equipment. Each variant is manufactured under strict process controls to maintain consistent cross-section, uniform plating thickness, and reliable electrical characteristics across production batches.
The Soft 120C Tinned Copper Braided Mesh Tube is constructed from electrolytic grade copper strands individually tinned with a uniform lead-free coating, ensuring long-term solderability and electrical stability. Its soft annealed temper allows simple forming, flaring, or compression without cracking, which significantly reduces installation effort. The open-braided tubular design provides effective heat dissipation and permits airflow, making it suitable for heat-generating busbar joints and vibration-prone connections. Because the mesh structure maintains a consistent contact area under dynamic loading, it is widely specified in transformer terminals, switchgear grounding, EMI shielding sleeves, and battery interconnects where both flexibility and conductivity are non-negotiable.
