Braids: Square copper braids

Compact braided square and rectangular copper flexibles.

Applications

Less space required in comparison to round copper braids
Precise positioning owing to square or rectangular shape,
which allows for failure-free and fully automated downstream manufacture
Very good Flex life
Absolute free from twist
Compact cutting surface
Very high degree of dimensional accuracy
Sustained precision of welded joints
Very long lifetime
