The braid constructions listed in this catalog do not constitute our complete line.

     The manner in which the members of a stranded conductor are twisted together is termed the stranding. We manufacture three basic types of stranded cables: bunch, concentric and rope lay constructions. You will notice from the wire sizes used in our constructions that all of our strands and cables are designed for maximum flexibility and minimum diameters.

    Stranded Conductors are used in most electronic wire and cable applications to provide better limpness, flexibility and longer flex life. From a practical standpoint, stranded conductors offer longer service life than solid conductors. For a given size of a conductor, increasing the number of strands while reducing the size of the individual strands will increase the conductor flexibility, Most of these constructions are used in applications where flexibility is of primary importance. 
    

      Our braided rope is available in 1mm to 50mm diameter, round, square and rectangular configuration, and custom specials.

     Stranded Conductors are generally manufactured of bare or tinned copper wire, although strands and cables used for special purposes may be constructed of silver-plated copper, nickel-plated copper, stainless steel, aluminum,  nickel-clad and other precious metals. Bare and tinned copper wire are warehouse items.
