Overview
The Hoffman AGS416 grounding strap is a braided copper grounding assembly engineered for electrical continuity in NEMA enclosures and industrial cabinets. Hoffman grounding straps are designed to provide a means of attaching a grounding conductor to an electrical enclosure and can be used to provide electrical continuity between metal parts which must be electrically connected. This model meets industry standards for reliable equipment grounding in control panels, motor starters, and distribution boxes.
Key Features
- Braided copper construction with ring terminal at both ends
- 4 AWG conductor size for robust current-carrying capacity
- 16-inch length (16.19″) between ring terminals
- Tinned copper material for corrosion resistance
- Meets NEMA and code-compliance requirements for equipment grounding
- Drop-in replacement for legacy enclosure systems
Technical Specifications
Material is copper, size is 4 AWG x 16 inch, catalog number AGS416. The strap accepts #4 AWG wire at both ring terminals, providing secure conductor termination without additional crimping tools. Design supports both new installations and retrofit applications in industrial electrical enclosures.
