In the 2017 edition of the Copper Thermal Strap (CuTS) Catalog, weve added even more
customization options, additional information on our strap
cleaning and testing services,
our manufacturing capabilities,
We have also rolled out our
new proprietary copper cabling,
OFHC
UltraFlex
(developed by TAI), which
offers increased flexibility over
our standard rope, while maintaining the same thermal performance and diameter.
New for 2016/17, we have reduced our already rock-bottom
prices, and we have also rolled
out substantial discounts for
University, National Laboratory, all New (and many) Returning Customers.

P5-501
The P5-501 is our original offthe-shelf CuTS option, and the
most flexible of the P5 series.
Braid length is customizable at
no additional charge (up to 60
cm). Bolt holes are optional.
Available with TAIs OFHC UltraFlex cu cabling at no additional charge.
P5-502
The P5-502 is our largest off-the
-shelf CuTS option available to
date. This unit is our most
thermally conductive and fairly
flexible, even with the additional 2nd layer (stiffness is only a
slight issue at braid lengths of
under 6-7 cm).

P6-501
The P6-501 is 1 width
CuTS option, and the most
flexible of the P6 series.
Braid length is customizable
at no additional charge (up
to 60 cm). Bolt holes are optional. Available with TAIs
OFHC UltraFlex cu cabling
at no additional charge.
P6-502
The P6-502 is our double row
version of the P6. This unit
is highly thermally conductive, extremely flexible (at
braid length >5-6 cm), more
compact , and offers a high
conductivity to weight ratio.

P7-501
The P7-501 is our smallest option. It is the most flexible
standard strap; ideal for extremely confined spaces in your
system.
Braid length customizable at no
charge (up to 60 cm). Bolt holes
optional. Available with TAIs
OFHC UltraFlex cu cabling at
no additional charge.
P7-502
The P7-502 is the double row
version of our smallest option. This unit offers higher
performance than the 501,
with a tiny weight increase,
yet maintains its extremely
small size. It is a highly flexible strap; ideal for confined
spaces in your application.

P5-503 (L-SERIES)
The P5-503 (L-Series) provides
high thermal conductivity with the
convenience of the L-shaped end
fitting.
All straps are length customizable
at no additional charge (up to 60
cm). Bolt holes are optional. Available with TAIs OFHC UltraFlex cu
cabling at no additional charge.
P6-503 (L-SERIES)
The P6-503 offers the benefit of
the L-bracket end fitting, but with
a smaller total footprintideal
for applications with smaller interfaces and installation room to
work with.

P7-503 (L-SERIES)
The P7-503 (L-series) is our smallest L-series strap, and provides
the smallest impact to your available envelope, while still providing
a high thermal conductance.
P5-504 (U-SERIES)
The P5-504 (the U-Series), provides high thermal conductance,
with the convenience of a tight
c or u-shaped installation
configuration (ideal in tighter
areas with parallel interfaces,
requiring a high degree of flexibility). U-series straps are much
more flexible than our 502 and
503-Series units.

P6-504 (U-SERIES)
The P6-504 is our most popular Useries model, combining both high
thermal conductivity and flexibility
in a tight c/u-shaped installation
configuration.
P7-504 (U-SERIES)
The P7-504 is our smallest version
of the U-series straps. For its small
size, this unit is highly thermally
conductive, extremely flexible, and
more compact than the larger P6
and P5 series .

TAI is proud to announce that all
of our custom and standard copper thermal straps now come
with two copper rope options, at
no additional cost.
In addition to our 0.1" diameter,
TAI Standard OFHC copper
braid (we've used for over a decade), TAI has developed a proprietary copper cabling, specifically
designed to provide increased
flexibility, while maintaining the
same diameter and thermal performance of our TAI Standard
OFHC cu braid. CuTS assemblies made with TAI's OFHC UltraFlex cabling are over 65% more
flexible than our standard straps
on the compression axis (X), and
average nearly 25% greater flexi-

End Fittings on Compact Models are shortened and machined down for
a thinner/lower profile, resulting in significant mass and footprint
reductions.

These straps are not only a testament to our expertise, but our ability to accommodate a comprehensive array of customer demands.
The following are just a few examples of the thousands of straps we
have designed and fabricated for:
Cryomodule, Particle Accelerator,
Cryocooler, Satellite , Planetary
Rover, Commercial Electronics, Optics, and Semiconductor applications:

Submitting an Inquiry or RFQ:
Send TAI a CuTS questionnaire and
any available drawings or .stp files of
your envelope & interfaces, and we
can get you an assessment within 2-3
business days.
Please note that attempting to design
straps yourself will not reduce NRE
and often causes significant problems.
All custom straps incur an affordable,
one-time design fee, but all initial assessment and notional design work is
free of charge.
