Double fork busbar connector from Stäubli helps cut costs
03 April 2020
Developed to link two high power busbars, a new double fork connector from Stäubli Electrical Connectors has a simplified, cost-effective design that helps cut maintenance and replacement costs.
One of the forks is fastened onto the busbar by two screws; the other fork can accept busbars that are misaligned laterally by up to ±2mm and with angular deviations of up to ±3°.
Rated for 5000 mating cycles, the silver plated aluminium connector is fitted with Stäubli's MULTILAM contact technology. This allows a high current density thanks to its use of multiple spring contact elements, and ensures low contact resistance with low power losses throughout its lifetime.
The space-saving connector can be adapted to customer requirements with regard to rated current and dimensions of the busbars.
Expected applications are in power distribution and power conversion cabinets with current requirements from 100A up to several 1000A.
