Insulated Flexible Busbars for EV Applications

Insulated flexible busbars, made from copper foil thicknesses of 0.1 to 1mm, are produced through welding, stamping, plating, forming, and insulation processes. Plating options include tin and nickel, while insulation can be PVC dipping or PE heat shrink tubing. Due to their good conductivity, flexibility, ease of installation, and space-saving design, flexible busbars are widely used in electric vehicle battery packs, new energy power distribution, UPS systems, and charging stations. They can be customized in various types and sizes.

Flexible bus bars consist of multiple layers of copper foils, varying in width and number of layers, with thicknesses ranging from 0.1mm to 1mm. Due to their excellent conductivity, flexibility, ease of installation, and space-saving design, flexible busbars are widely used in electric vehicle battery packs, new energy power distribution systems, UPS systems, and charging stations. Their layered structure provides superior electrical performance and mechanical strength, making them ideal for applications requiring high reliability and efficiency in electrical connections.
