Battery Busbar: Flexible Copper Busbars

Flexible busbars are made from copper foil with thicknesses ranging from 0.1 to 1mm. Produced through welding, stamping, plating (tin or nickel), forming, and insulation (PVC dipping or PE heat shrink tubing), they offer excellent conductivity, flexibility, easy installation, and space-saving design. These features make them ideal for EV battery packs, new energy power distribution, UPS systems, and charging stations.

Product Description:

Flexible bus bars consist of multiple layers of copper foils with varying widths and numbers of layers. The thickness of the copper foil can range from 0.1mm to 1mm. Due to their excellent conductivity, flexibility, ease of installation, and space-saving properties, flexible busbars are widely used in electric vehicle battery packs, new energy power distribution systems, UPS, charging piles, and more.


Bus Bar Performance:
