Bussco laminated bus bars

A laminated bus bar is an electronic package made up of thin, flat metal conductors separated and bonded together by a dielectric material and sandwiched between outer insulating covers. Characteristics of the product depend on the elecrical and physical requirements of the specific application. The number of layers, size and thickness of conductors, type and thickness of dielectric material, as well as method of termination depend on the electrical and physical requirements of the specific application. Design options are virtually limitless. CCI will work with customers to help design the best product for your application.

Laminated bus bars are passive electronic components that distribute power in electronic equipment. They are used in telecommunication, data processing, industrial control, military, aerospace and other electronic systems. Their modular form can effectively replace the mass of round wire cable harnesses, resulting in a simpler assembly, and lower installed cost. They can lower costs and are a better alternative to round wire cable harnesses for a number of reasons. Laminated bus bars offer simpler assembly and are customized for ease of handling and installation. Round wire cable harnesses, though effective, take up space. Bus bar conductors save considerable space due to their size, shape and thickness. There is no need for cumbersome wires. The shape of the bus bar saves at least 50% of the space required by wire cables and a reduction in thickness saves even more space. Their compact design also allows for positive mounting and fixture add-ons/retrofits. Current carrying capability is not sacrificed. In fact, bus bars provide a higher current carrying capability with minimal voltage drop. This means the voltage drop becomes predictable so lowers costs when compensating for it. Low characteristic impedance, low inductance and high distributed capacitance creates reduced noise levels and reduced EMI/RFI. This superior grounding and shielding capability eliminates costs that would be required to add these elements to the wire cable harness.

The BUSSCO division of CCI is a leading design and manufacturer of custom bus bars and power interconnections for the commercial, industrial and aerospace Industries. BUSSCO offers a personalized single source for design, prototyping, low and high volume manufacturing for both standard and custom projects. The number of layers, size and thickness of conductors, type and thickness of dielectric material, as well as method of termination depend on the electrical and physical requirements of the specific application. Design options are virtually limitless. BUSSCO will work with customers to help design the best product for your applications.
