Copper straps for earth and earthing connections

Find our wide range of earthing straps that meet the highest quality standards. We are also happy to receive your individual inquiry about earthing straps.


What are ground straps?

Ground straps are flexible, electrically conductive connections made from fine copper wires that are braided together. They are used for potential equalization, grounding, and safe current transmission in electrical installations. Thanks to their flat shape, they are easy to install and can be optimally adapted to confined installation spaces.

What are the material properties of ground straps?

A ground strap is typically made of electrolytic copper (E-Cu) with a copper content of at least 99.9%. The surface is galvanically tin-plated to ensure high corrosion resistance and long-term conductivity. The tinned surface protects the copper braid from oxidation and enables reliable use both indoors and outdoors.

How is a ground strap constructed?

The ground strap is made from fine copper strands woven into a flat braid. It features rectangular or round connection ends, depending on the design and application. The shape provides excellent heat dissipation and high flexibility.

What advantages do ground straps offer?

  • High electrical conductivity
  • Corrosion-resistant surface due to tin plating
  • Excellent heat dissipation
  • Flexible and vibration-resistant
  • Easy installation even in confined spaces

What are ground straps used for?

The main purpose of ground straps is earthing and potential equalization in electrical systems and machinery. They are also used to flexibly bridge electrical connections and compensate for mechanical movement. The flexibility of the braids is influenced by the strand diameter, cross‑section, and weave design, making them ideal for use in tight installation spaces.

They are mainly used as grounding conductors. Because of their high heat dissipation, they are suitable for carrying large electrical currents (short-circuit or lightning current). They help dissipate electromagnetic interference and support EMC-compliant electrical installations. Due to their compact design, they are suitable for use in enclosures and industrial housings. Typical applications include:

  • As grounding straps
  • As battery cables
  • In electric vehicles
  • In electric furnace construction
  • In conveyor systems
  • In electroplating
  • In switchgear and equipment manufacturing
  • In rail vehicles
  • In mechanical engineering

What types of ground straps are available?
