BUSBAR
CONNECTIVITY
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING BUSBAR PRODUCTS
Application: Properties like dimensions, shape, isolation, plating, base material, and use of connectors should be considered
when choosing a busbar product.
Current and Voltage: Does the connector require power only, or a combination of power and signal? How much current is
required in the application? Keep in mind that busbar products performance is usually measured in amperes (or amps). The
voltage is also highly important as it defines the spacing between the contacts and is related to safety requirements.
Hot-Pluggability: Will the application be mated while under electrical load? If so, a hot-pluggable connector is required.
Many of the products in this guide have been approved for use in hot-plug applications.

CROWN CLIP Sockets Features:
• Compact, high-current, blind-mate design. Supports true hot-plug, complies with safety regulatory requirements for current
interruption under load.
• Utilizes the well-known ELCON CROWN BAND contact technology.
• CROWN CLIP connector could mate with the solid busbar blade (CROWN CLIP Std) or laminated busbar blade (CROWN CLIP II
and Dual CROWN CLIP).
• CROWN CLIP Std is a single pole, and floating mount socket. CROWN CLIP II is a dual pole, floating mount socket, offering
±1.0mm floating contact and ±6° misalignment capability. Dual CROWN CLIP is a dual-pole, feed-through socket, allowing
insertion of mating blade from both top or bottom of socket.
• Mating busbar blades to be .125” (3.18mm) or .118” (3.00mm) thick. Insertion length .650” (16.50mm) minimum, 1.00”
(25.40mm) maximum.

AMPOWER Wave Crimp System
Features
• Insulated flat copper cable conductors and associated
interface components enable solutions to power distribution
challenges through its unmatched packaging flexibility.
• Variety of interfaces for end of cable or mid-cable
terminations enable high application versatility and
customization.
• Single and dual conductor cable types with various conductor • Flat cables can be easily formed and will hold their
and insulation thicknesses available. Standard cable types

support 80-135 Amps and operating voltages up to 600V.
easily routed through confined spaces.
• Flat power cables offer a number of advantages over both
round jacketed power cables or traditional busbars.
• Fully touch-safe. Less copper compared to round
jacketed cable; therefore less weight and lower cost per
ampere of rated current.
