Not every system requires laminated bus bars. In some rack-mounted systems, current levels don’t rise above the capacity of a backplane. In other cases, there are relatively few taps off the power bus ...

A new ASTM International specification will help standardize production and use of bimetallic “bus bar” (copper-clad aluminum flat-strip and flat-wire that distributes high-current power). A ...

Bus bars are an important component in the manufacture of transformers. They are a solid element that allows a flexible way of transmitting and distributing power. When brazing the bars, stability and ...

Components that can connect circuits while minimizing inductance are useful for a number of applications, but are becoming a particular necessity for high-performance switching applications using ...

Despite the widespread use of low-power ICs—or counterintuitively, because of it—DC power-rail currents on PCBs keep increasing. It’s not unusual to have a modest-size board drawing high tens of amps ...
