Copper wires and connectors are widely used for railway electrical equipment and components such as electro pneumatic contactors, position changing switches, changeover switches, direction changing switches, combined contactors, DC contactors, etc. These contactors and switches are important electrical parts for locomotives, and the quality and performance of the wires and connectors are critical. The copper wires and connectors range from braided copper wires, braided copper connectors, stranded copper wires, stranded copper connectors, laminated copper connectors, copper carbon brush wires, flexible copper connectors, and insulated copper busbars, etc. These wires, connectors, busbars can provide electrical conduction and earthing connection solutions.
Copper Braided Connectors With Ferrules
The flexible copper braided connectors are made of flexible copper braids with solderless pressed ferrules at each side as contact areas.
Material: annealed Cu-ETP wires, C11000, copper content ≥ 99.95%
Finish: bare, tin plating, nickel plating, silver plating
Single Wire Diameter: 0.05mm (AWG 44), 0.07mm (AWG 41), 0.10mm (AWG 38), 0.12mm, 0.127mm (AWG 36), 0.15mm (standard), 0.20mm (AWG 32), 0.25mm, 0.254mm (AWG 30)
Cross Sectional Area: 1.5mm2 – 6000mm2
Copper Stranded Connectors With Ferrules
The flexible copper stranded connectors are made of flexible stranded copper wires with solderless pressed ferrules at each side as contact areas.
Material: annealed Cu-ETP wires, C11000, copper content ≥ 99.95%
Finish: bare, tin plating, nickel plating, silver plating
Single Wire Diameter: 0.05mm (AWG 44), 0.07mm (AWG 41), 0.10mm (AWG 38), 0.12mm, 0.127mm (AWG 36), 0.15mm (standard), 0.20mm (AWG 32), 0.25mm, 0.254mm (AWG 30)
Cross Sectional Area: 1.5mm2 – 2000mm2
Laminated Copper Connectors / Flexible Insulated Copper Busbars
The flexible insulated copper busbars are easy to be processed and mounted as the copper strips move freely inside the insulation and therefore the busbars has the high bending and twisting characteristics. Besides, the flexible insulated copper busbars can bear higher current than other conductors of the same cross sectional area. Then, it saves the materials, and weight and layout space.
Material: C11000 copper strip, copper content ≥ 99.95%
Single Strip Thickness: 0.8mm, 1mm
Finish: no plating, tin plating
Insulating Material: PVC, TPE
