Rittal 2412325 Grounding Braid 12 in Tin-plated Copper

Product Description

The RITTAL 2412325 is a tin-plated copper grounding braid used to establish reliable ground continuity in electrical enclosures and control panel assemblies. Measuring 12 inches in length and approximately 0.98 inches (25mm) in width, this flexible braid provides low-impedance bonding between enclosure panels, doors, subplates, and chassis components. The tin plating over the copper strands resists corrosion and oxidation, maintaining stable conductivity over the service life of the installation. Electricians and panel builders rely on grounding braids like this one to satisfy equipment bonding requirements and reduce the risk of voltage buildup on conductive enclosure surfaces.

This grounding braid is suited for use in industrial control panels, electrical enclosures, and machine assemblies where a flexible bonding strap is needed between two grounded points. It is particularly useful in applications where enclosure doors or removable panels must be bonded to the main structure. The 12-inch length accommodates typical door-hinge-to-frame bonding runs without excess slack. Installations following NEC panel bonding requirements will find this braid a direct-fit solution for grounding enclosure components.

Key Features

• Tin-plated copper construction resists corrosion and maintains low-resistance ground paths
• 12-inch length suits standard enclosure door and subplate bonding runs
• 25mm width provides adequate current-carrying cross-section for equipment bonding
• Flexible braid design accommodates movement and vibration without fatiguing the conductor
• Lightweight at 0.17 pounds for easy handling during panel assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grounding accessory for use with Rittal enclosures and compatible electrical panel assemblies requiring flexible copper bonding straps.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for equipment bonding. De-energize and lock out the panel or enclosure before installing or replacing any grounding hardware. Ensure both termination points are clean, bare metal with no paint or oxide layer to maintain a low-resistance connection. Do not stretch or kink the braid during routing, as this can reduce its current-carrying capacity.
