Flat white braided strap FTCB 15-16 557240

Copper braid for grounding and electrical connections

The tinned copper flat braid FTCB 15-16 is a flexible conductor designed for equalization connections, protective grounding, and as a connecting wire for electrical installation elements. Its construction ensures good conductivity and corrosion resistance, guaranteeing reliable operation in various environmental conditions. It is supplied on a roll 25 meters long, making it easy to cut precisely to the needs of a specific application.

Construction and application

The FTCB 15-16 braid is characterized by a flat construction, which makes it easy to install in tight spaces and under plaster. Made of tinned copper, it provides excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The whitened surface further increases its durability and aesthetics. It finds application in:

• Electrical installations in residential and industrial buildings – as a protective earth (PE) conductor.
• Lightning protection systems – for connecting grounding elements.
• Equalization connections – minimizing potential differences between structural elements.
• Industrial electrical equipment – as a current-carrying element in devices and machines.
• Applications requiring a flexible connection of metal elements – providing a reliable mechanical and electrical connection.

Key features and benefits

• Tinned copper: Provides high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, which translates to long-lasting and reliable operation of the installation. Tinning protects the copper from oxidation, even in a humid environment.
• Flat construction: Enables easy installation in tight spaces, under plaster or in hard-to-reach places. The flexibility of the braid allows it to be adapted to the shape of structural elements.
• Cross-section 16 mm²: Suitable for applications requiring the transfer of significant currents, providing effective protection against overloads and short circuits.
• Length 25 m: Allows for the realization of many connections from one roll, reducing costs associated with the purchase of materials.
• Whitened surface: Increases corrosion resistance and improves the aesthetics of the installation.
• Wire class 5 (multi-strand flexible): Provides high flexibility and resistance to material fatigue during repeated bending, which is important in dynamic or vibration-prone applications.
• Width approx. 15 mm and height approx. 1.5 mm: Optimal dimensions for easy installation and adaptation to different types of connections.
