Rice Lake Grounding Strap Tinned Copper Braid Electrical Ground Connector
The Rice Lake Grounding Straps are heavy-duty electrical grounding connectors designed to provide a reliable grounding path between two terminals in industrial weighing systems, load cell installations, electrical equipment, and automation applications. Constructed from flexible tinned copper braid, these grounding straps deliver excellent electrical conductivity while accommodating movement, vibration, and mechanical stress commonly found in industrial environments. They are frequently used in Rice Lake ITCM (Isolated Tension Cell Module) assemblies and other load cell mounting systems where dependable grounding is critical for equipment protection and measurement accuracy. Designed specifically for electrical continuity between moving or vibrating components, the flat braided copper construction provides greater flexibility than conventional wire conductors. This flexibility allows the strap to maintain a secure electrical connection even when installed between components that experience motion, vibration, or thermal expansion. The tinned copper braid also offers enhanced corrosion resistance, helping ensure long-term performance in harsh industrial environments. Each grounding strap features crimped sleeve terminations with 0.25-inch mounting holes on both ends, allowing quick and secure attachment to grounding points, load cell assemblies, mounting hardware, or equipment frames. The rugged construction helps protect sensitive electronic components from stray currents, electrical noise, and static buildup that can negatively affect weighing system performance and equipment reliability. In retrofit applications, grounding straps provide an effective solution for adding supplemental grounding or shielding continuity to existing cable installations without major system modifications. By improving electrical grounding integrity, these straps can help reduce interference, improve signal stability, and enhance overall system performance in industrial weighing and control systems. Available in multiple lengths ranging from 12 inches to 32 inches, Rice Lake Grounding Straps offer installation flexibility for a variety of equipment configurations and grounding requirements. Whether used in load cell mounting assemblies, industrial scales, process control systems, or electrical grounding projects, these straps provide dependable electrical bonding and long-term durability.
