The Flexo Silver Plated Copper Braid (MBS) is engineered for intensive shielding and grounding environments. Manufactured to meet AA59569 and ASTM-B298 standards, this premium braid features a minimum plating thickness of 40 micro-inches, ensuring both reliability and durability.
Originally governed by Federal Specification QQ-B-575C (1993), this standard was later replaced by Commercial Item Description (CID) A-A-59569 in 2000, which defines tin- or silver-plated copper braids for use in electrical shielding, grounding bonds, and conductor protection.
When maximum performance is required, silver plating is the preferred choice over tin. It is especially critical when shielding must withstand temperatures above 150°C or in applications where superior corrosion resistance is essential.
