LIGHTWEIGHT
Microfilament nickel-clad expandable stainless steel conductive braid material
ArmorLite™ is an ultra-lightweight microfilament stainless steel braiding material fabricated by Glenair into various forms of sleeving, shielding, and ground straps for EMI, lightning strike, and ESD applications
Save weight and fuel every time you fly! All-Up-Weight (AUW) has met its match: ArmorLite™ microfilament stainless steel braid material saves pounds compared to standard QQ-B-575/ A-A-59569 solutions. Braided into cable shielding or ground straps, ArmorLite™ is a high-performance, high-strength, conductive stainless steel material ideally suited for use in aerospace applications. The principal benefit of ArmorLite™ is its extreme light weight compared to conventional nickel/ copper braid material. By way of comparison, 100 feet of 5/8 inch ArmorLite™ braid is more than four pounds lighter than standard 575 A-A-59569 shielding. The ArmorLite braided ground straps in this catalog demonstrate outstanding performance in both ESD and lightning strike testing. Consult factory for complete test reports.
