A laminated bus bar will lower manufacturing costs by decreasing assembly time as well as internal material handling costs. Various conductors are terminated at customer specified locations to eliminate the guess work usually associated with assembly operating procedures. A reduced parts count will reduce ordering, material handling, and inventory costs.

Bus Bars Improve Reliability

Laminated bus bars can help your organization build quality into processes. Reduction of wiring errors results in fewer reworks, lower service costs, and lower quality costs.

 

Bus Bars Increase Capacitance

Increased capacitance results in decreasing characteristic impedance. This will ultimately lead to greater effective signal suppression and noise elimination. Keeping the dielectrics thin and using dielectrics having a high relative K factor will increase the capacitance.

 

Eliminate Wiring Errors

By replacing a standard cable harnesses with bus bars, the possibility for mis-wirings is eliminated. Wiring harnesses have a high failure rates relative to bus bars, which have virtually none. These problems found in manufacturing or in your customers hands are very costly to repair. Adding bus bars to your systems is effective insurance.

Bus Bars Lower Inductance

Any conductor carrying current will develop an electro-magnetic field. The use of thin parallel conductors with a thin dielectric laminated together minimizes the effect of inductance on electrical circuits. Magnetic flux cancellation is maximized when opposing potentials are laminated together. Laminated bus bars have been designed to reduce the proximity effect in many semiconductor applications as well as applications that involve high electromagnetic interference (EMI).

 

Bus Bars Lower Impedance

Increasing the capacitance and reducing the inductance is a determining factor in eliminating noise. Keeping the dielectric thickness to a minimum will accomplish the highly desired low impedance.

Bus Bars Provide Denser Packaging

The use of wide, thin conductors laminated together led to decreased space requirements. Laminated bus bars have helped decrease total system size and cost.

 

The flexibility of bus bars have allowed an unlimited number of interconnection styles to choose from. Bushings, embossments, and faston® tabs are most commonly used. Wire harnesses, solderable connectors, and pressed-in fittings are also integrated into the design, making a bus bar compatable with virtually any type of interface
