Flexible with Eyelet Connection

Braid with eyelets can be cut to length and mounted without terminating, so its good for applications that require the braid to be looped from ground point to ground point with no breaks.

Interference-Shielding Expandable Wire Sleeving

Protect wire and cable from signal distortion caused by nearby equipment and devices. Expandable, this sleeving stretches to fit over items for easy installation, then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate. This sleeving is also used to insulate and organize wire and cable. Cut to size with sheet metal snips.

Aluminum

Aluminum sleeving is about one-third the weight and reflects more heat away from its contents than copper sleeving. However, it doesn’t resist as much signal interference.

Aramid Fabric with Tin-Plated Copper Shield

Aramid fabric sleeving combines the benefits of copper and aluminum sleeving. It’s shielded with copper foil to resist high amounts of signal interference, while the aramid fabric weighs half as much and reflects more heat than copper alone.

Tin-Plated Copper

Copper sleeving is more conductive than aluminum sleeving, so it resists more signal interference.

Desoldering Braids with Flux Core

These braids have a flux core for lead-free and electrical solder applications. Place a braid and a hot iron tip over unwanted solder and the braid absorbs the molten solder. All have an ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe spool that won’t create ESD to protect sensitive components.

Rosin Flux—Braids with rosin flux are quick acting with strong cleaning action but leave residue.

No-Clean Flux—Braids with no-clean flux leave minimal residue so there is no cleanup after application.

Lead-Free Flux—Braids with lead-free flux are designed to remove high temperature lead-free solder.

Desoldering Braids without Flux Core

Without a flux core, these braids allows you to choose the flux that works best for your application. Place a braid and a hot iron tip over unwanted solder and the braid absorbs the molten solder.
