Earth Braids with press-welded connections

Earth Braids (MBS) are made of highly flexible flat copper braids and are unique on the market. The connections are press-welded in a special process.

Area of application for Earth Braids

In modern switchgear with, for example, programmable logic controllers or fieldbus connections, high-frequency earthing is extremely important. Not only the ohmic direct current resistance plays a major role here, but also the impedance, which increases with frequency. The conductor shape, the total length and the connection technology are decisive factors here.

Earth Braids have a lower impedance than comparable round grounding cables and are therefore much better suited for high-frequency grounding. In addition, they offer ideal low contact resistance, which can only be achieved by welding.

SPS Earth Braids are also extremely well suited for ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of different system components and devices.

Conductor Material SPS Earth Braids

What material are the earth braids (MBS) made of?

Highly flexible flat braids made of tinned Cu-ETP1
Electrical conductance 58 MS/m
Single wire thickness 0.15 mm for a maximum of flexibility

What is the surface finish of Earth Braids?

Cu-ETP1 tinned (corrosion-resistant)

Which dimensions of Earth Braids does SPS offer?

Cross-sections from 6 to 50 mm²
Length is defined as the hole center distance
Lengths from 100 to 500 mm, in 50 mm steps

What are the benefits of Earth Braids Connections?

By welding the connections, minimal contact resistance is achieved. This eliminates the need for additional contact sleeves with increased resistances.

The welding guarantees constant resistances. There is no aging due to corrosion, as is the case with the use of contact sleeves.
The welded connections can withstand exceptionally high short-circuit currents with high limit temperatures.
In contrast to soldered connections, the connections cannot be softened.
