Key Manufacturing Processes

1. Copper Laminated Busbar Forming

The flexible conductor is formed by laminated welding of multiple T2 copper foils, ensuring a uniform cross-section without delamination while providing both high current-carrying capacity and excellent flexibility.

2. Cu-Al Dissimilar Metal Joining

The aluminum terminal is ultrasonically welded to the copper laminated busbar, creating a solid-state metallurgical bond through high-frequency vibration. This process ensures low contact resistance, no false welding, and long-term connection stability, meeting the reliability and mass-production requirements of the new energy industry.

3. Insulation Protection Process

The main conductor is fully insulated with flame-retardant heat-shrink tubing and protected by an abrasion-resistant braided sleeve. Customized insulating covers are additionally applied to the aluminum terminals to provide enhanced electrical isolation and prevent creepage and short-circuit risks.

4. Surface Finishing Process

Tin or nickel plating is available to improve oxidation and corrosion resistance. The braided sleeving further enhances abrasion resistance and bending durability for demanding operating environments.
