Flexible Copper Grounding Jumpers

Description

ERICO manufacturing directly massivates the palms of the MBJ tinned-plated braids. This manufacturing process provides an effective electrical contact|due to the integral palms|without the addition of tin or crimped lugs. This process welds the flexible braid and brings back a solid tinned or red copper block as a palm. Unlike the traditional press-welded palms process|ERICO process is suitable for red copper|but also for tin plated copper. The electrical contact between each wire is optimized. This ERICO process also helps eliminate moisture issues in the palms. By using crimped lugs in a severe environment|moisture can enter in the lug (often by capillarity) and create corrosion between each wire. After several years|the electrical contact between each wire can deteriorate and alter the electrical conductivity of the equipment. The corrosion in the palm is impossible to remove without changing the element. This process produces RoHS products; no additional substances are added to the tinned-plated wires during the manufacturing process.
