Developed to link two high power busbars, the new double fork connector from Stäubli Electrical Connectors has a simplified, cost-effective design that cuts maintenance and replacement costs.
One of the forks is attached to the busbar by two screws, while the other fork can allow busbars that are misaligned laterally by up to ±2mm and with angular deviations of up to ±3 degrees.
Rated for 5,000 mating cycles, the silver-plated aluminium connector is fitted with the company's MULTILAM contact technology. This enables a high current density due to its usage 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 needs about rated current and the dimensions of the busbars.
Expected applications are in power distribution and power conversion cabinets with current needs from 100A up to several 1000A.
