Helukabel 16mm2 Grounding Braid 200mm with 8.5/8.5mm Terminals

The Helukabel 16mm2 grounding braid is a high-quality, flexible copper conductor engineered for reliable electrical grounding and potential equalization. Measuring 200mm in length and featuring pre-pressed 8.5/8.5mm terminals on both ends, this component is designed for secure and efficient installation in various industrial, automotive, and electrical cabinet environments. Its robust construction ensures excellent electrical conductivity and superior vibration resistance, making it an ideal solution for demanding grounding applications where flexibility and durability are essential.

Advantages

This grounding braid offers exceptional flexibility, allowing for easy routing in tight spaces where rigid cables might fail. The high-quality copper material provides low electrical resistance, ensuring optimal performance for safety grounding and potential equalization. The pre-pressed terminals eliminate the need for additional crimping tools on-site, saving time during installation and ensuring a consistent, high-strength connection that withstands mechanical stress and vibrations over long periods of operation.

Suitable for

• Electrical cabinet grounding
• Automotive chassis grounding
• Industrial machinery potential equalization
• Vibration-prone electrical installations

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for high-voltage power transmission or applications requiring insulation against high-voltage currents. It is also not suitable for environments where the copper material would be exposed to highly corrosive chemicals that could degrade the braid over time.

Key specifications

• Cross-section: 16mm2
• Length: 200mm
• Terminal hole diameter: 8.5mm on both ends
• Material: Flexible copper braid

How to use

To install the grounding braid, align the 8.5mm terminal holes with the corresponding grounding points on your equipment or chassis. Secure the terminals using appropriate bolts and washers to ensure a firm, metal-to-metal contact. Ensure that the mounting surfaces are clean and free of paint or oxidation to maintain optimal conductivity. Tighten the fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for the bolt size used.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific grounding path
• Check that the 8.5mm terminal hole size matches your existing mounting studs
• Ensure the 16mm2 cross-section is sufficient for your system's grounding requirements

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points for signs of corrosion or loosening, especially in environments subject to constant vibration. Ensure that the braid is not under excessive tension after installation to maintain its flexibility and longevity.
