Laminated Busbar

Product Profile
The laminated busbar is applied to connect the power devices of the electrical and electronic product. It reduces the distributed inductance of the circuit by means of the structural style of the lamination and parallel distribution of the anode and cathode. In this way, the voltage surge is reduced when the power component is turned off. Therefore, this product lowers the requirement for the voltage resistance of the power component, improves the reliability and stability of the operation of the component and meanwhile enhances the integration level of the current circuit. Last but not least, it is convenient for maintenance.
This laminated Busbar could be customized or specified according to your design or drawings. Clients can also provide information of real application information for us and we can design products on the basis of such information.
