Masažo lynas 20 mm², 20x2 mm, 119 A

The TZ020 grounding braid is an essential component designed to ensure reliable and secure grounding of electrical and electronic equipment on board. It establishes a robust equipotential bond and a low-impedance ground connection, which helps reduce the risks of electromagnetic interference and galvanic corrosion in a marine environment.

Its main technical specifications are:

Cross-section: 20mm²Dimensions: 20x2mm (flat braid)Maximum current rating: 119AApplication: Specifically designed for marine installations.Its flat design provides excellent flexibility and facilitates integration in confined spaces.

For optimal and secure installation of the TZ020 tinned copper grounding braid, it is crucial to follow these guidelines:

Suitable terminals: Use terminals of the correct size and material (ideally tinned copper for marine environments) and crimp them properly to ensure a solid and durable connection.Clean connection points: Ensure contact surfaces are perfectly clean, free of paint, grease, oxidation, or corrosion to guarantee maximum electrical conductivity.Secure mounting: Secure the braid to avoid excessive mechanical stress, friction, or movement that could damage it over time.Protection: In humid or corrosive environments, applying dielectric grease or a contact protector to connection points can significantly extend the lifespan of the installation.Routing: Take advantage of the flat braid's flexibility for optimal routing, avoiding tight bends that could stress the material.

The TZ020 tinned copper ground braid is compatible with a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment aboard requiring reliable grounding and low-impedance connections. It is commonly used for grounding connections on:

Service and starter batteriesEngines (thermal and electric)Battery chargers and voltage convertersInverters and transformersNavigation and communication equipment (GPS, VHF, radars, etc.)Electrical panels and dashboardsMetal frames of devices and metal hulls (for equipotential bonding)It can serve as the main ground backbone or as a connection for individual devices, complementing smaller-section braids.

The TZ020 ground strap is designed to safely handle a maximum current of 119 amperes (119A). It is imperative not to exceed this rated value to ensure the safety of your electrical installation and the longevity of the product. Exceeding this current could lead to overheating of the strap, significant energy losses, and in extreme cases, fire hazards or damage to connected equipment. If your application requires a higher current capacity, it is recommended to use a ground strap with a larger cross-section and a higher ampacity rating.

The flat design of the TZ020 tinned copper ground braid offers several significant advantages, particularly in marine environments where space and flexibility are critical:

Increased flexibility: Its flat shape makes it generally more supple than a round cable of equivalent cross-section, simplifying installation and routing in confined or complex spaces.

Space optimization: It can be more easily concealed or routed along flat structures, occupying less volume than round cables, which is a major advantage aboard.

Heat dissipation: A larger surface area can potentially improve heat dissipation, though this depends on specific installation and ventilation conditions.

Vibration resistance: Its flexibility can also contribute to better resistance to mechanical stress and vibrations, common in nautical environments, reducing the risk of material fatigue.

Note: These advantages assume proper installation and use in a marine environment. Always verify compatibility with your system's electrical and mechanical requirements.

For critical applications, consult a marine electronics specialist.
