Bare (Annealed) Braided Copper Wire, 10 sq mm

Braided copper wire is a high-performance electrical conductor formed by weaving together numerous fine strands of copper into a flexible, integrated structure.Core Characteristics Superior Flexibility: The "woven" design allows the wire to bend, twist, and stretch, making it the industry standard for vibration-prone environments (like engines or heavy machinery). High Surface Area: Because it consists of many tiny filaments, it has a much larger surface area than a solid wire of the same gauge. This is critical for heat dissipation and managing high-frequency currents (the "skin effect"). Mechanical Strength: The interlaced strands provide high tensile strength and resistance to fraying or snapping under mechanical stress. Common Configurations Flat Braid: Used primarily for grounding straps and battery connectors. Its flat profile provides maximum surface contact for bolting to chassis or terminals. Tubular (Round) Braid: Often used as a protective shield over other cables to block electromagnetic interference (EMI) or as a flexible conduit for heavy-duty power transmission. Tinned vs. Bare: Bare Copper: High conductivity, used in dry, internal environments. Tinned Copper: Coated with a thin layer of tin to prevent corrosion and oxidation, essential for marine and outdoor use. Typical Specifications Purity: Often made from 99.9% ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) copper for maximum conductivity. Standard Strand Sizes: Commonly utilizes 0.15 mm (38 SWG) or 0.20 mm (36 SWG) individual filaments. Current Capacity: Varies by cross-sectional area, typically ranging from small 5A signal shields to 500A+ industrial grounding busbars.
