Braided Copper Flat Tapes
Yeshwant Wires is a leading Braided Copper Flat Tapes manufacturer in India, delivering high-conductivity, flexible, and durable copper braids used extensively for earthing, bonding, and electrical connections. Our braided copper tapes are made from 99.99% pure electrolytic-grade copper wire to ensure outstanding electrical and mechanical performance with uniform braiding and excellent surface finish.
Available in bare, tinned, or silver-plated finishes, these tapes deliver exceptional conductivity, flexibility, corrosion resistance, and durability. They comply with IS, IEC, and ASTM standards and are ideal for safe grounding, EMI shielding, and high-current applications in electrical, automotive, defense, and renewable energy sectors.
Description
Braided Copper Flat Tapes are flexible conductors made by interweaving multiple fine copper wires into a flat braid. These tapes are widely used for earthing, bonding, and electrical continuity because of their ability to carry large currents and absorb vibrations. The flat shape offers a large surface area, enhancing current flow and heat dissipation while maintaining flexibility and mechanical stability.
These tapes are extensively used in earthing and grounding systems, power and control panels, switchgear, transformers, busbar connections, automotive and railway applications, welding equipment, battery connections, and lightning protection systems where flexible, high-current, and corrosion-resistant conductors are essential for safe and reliable operation.

Technical Specifications
| Property | Specification | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor Material | High-Conductivity Electrolytic Copper (Bare or Tinned) | Copper ensures maximum current capacity. Tinned copper is often chosen for superior corrosion resistance and longevity, especially in humid or outdoor conditions. |
| Voltage Grade | Low to Medium Voltage (Used mainly for high current/bonding) | The voltage rating is usually determined by the clearances in the surrounding equipment, as these are primarily used for high-current earthing and bonding where voltage is low relative to ground. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +150°C (Material Dependent) | The high rating allows them to safely handle the heat generated by large short-circuit or fault currents, which is common in grounding and bonding applications. |
| Construction | Flat Braid (Woven from Fine Copper Wires) | Defining Feature. The woven flat construction provides excellent flexibility and resistance to fatigue from continuous vibration, thermal cycling, and movement. |
| Cross-Sectional Shape | Rectangular / Flat Tape | The flat shape provides a large surface area for easy, secure termination (usually crimped or welded lugs) and maximizes contact area for efficient surface-to-surface grounding. |
| Insulation | Uninsulated (Bare) or PVC/Silicone Sleeve (Optional) | They are typically bare to maximize thermal dissipation (air cooling) and are often used purely as a grounding/bonding path inside enclosures. |
| Key Function | Flexible Grounding, Equipotential Bonding, and Earthing Jumper | Used extensively in switchgear, power distribution panels, and transformers to provide a safe, flexible link between components. |
| Standards | Relevant national/international standards for conductivity, material purity, and braiding (e.g., DIN 72873). | Compliance ensures high conductivity and reliable performance as an electrical safety component. |
