Braided Bonding Straps

Panduit’s StructuredGround™ flat braided bonding straps are used to electrically bond enclosure doors, subpanels, motors, and machines in most applications for safety and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The flat ferrule design of this bonding component helps to reduce the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) because it passes high-frequency noise more effectively than round stranded-type cables. In applications where motion or vibration is a concern, these straps resist the breaking and cracking of individual strands that can degrade the effectiveness of the bond. They are constructed of #4 AWG tin-plated copper with a minimum strap width of 1" and can be terminated with a seamless ferrule that maintains the flat braided shape across its entire length.
