Bus Bar

Specially designed laminated bus bars for semiconductor applications.

As the depletion of fossil fuels drives our attention towards renewable energy sources to power our daily lives, Mersen’s laminated bus bars can be found in new, but familiar territory.
Whether it’s in Solar, Wind Power, or Fuel Cells, the creation of DC energy feeds directly through Mersen’s low inductance laminated bus bars into an IGBT and capacitor circuit, delivering the safe and efficient power our customers demand. Mersen’s quality-engineered laminated bus bars use state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing techniques that minimize weight and maximize simplicity.

Whether it’s carrying the high current necessary to power heavy equipment, rail, and subway cars—or reducing weight and enhancing packaging efficiency for the latest aircraft and hybrid vehicles—Mersen laminated bus bars bring unique advantages to the transportation industry that are not available with traditional wiring or single conductor bars.
A properly engineered laminated bus bar provides the lowest overall system inductance and the most balanced and distributed capacitance, making it the perfect match for the high demands of the transportation equipment industry. Mersen laminated bus bars help transportation equipment manufacturers achieve their reliability goals.

Mersen laminated bus bars offer uncompromising electrical performance while minimizing EMI, RFI and crosstalk. As data volume and broadband use continue to expand, performance demands increase for high-speed servers, blade servers, network backbone equipment, engineering work stations, and such data storage systems as disk arrays.

The low-profile of a laminated bus bar provides computer equipment manufacturers with the ultimate package efficiency, ease of service, and consistent quality necessary to satisfy the most demanding customers. A properly engineered power distribution plan, including laminated bus bars, can also include thermal management, acting as a heat sink, and the bus bar’s form fitting designs help increase the air flow within a system where space is at a premium.

Uncompromising performance and reliability are a must for defense and aerospace systems. That is why laminated bus bars designed by Mersen are commonplace in a wide range of defense applications, including missile guidance equipment, phase-array radar systems, sonar and radar tracking stations, airborne equipment, tanks, submarines, and numerous space programs.

Mersen’s laminated bus bars offer other advantages for defense use, too. Their superior electrical characteristics help defense systems achieve maximum electrical performance and efficiency. Laminated bus bars are also known to provide the most compact means of packaging, achieving the highest overall system performance where physical space is a premium.

Since bus bars can be engineered to double as a structural support member, they contribute to system strength and rigidity at the same time. If that’s not enough, Mersen’s laminated bus bars simplify field service too, which makes it easier to keep mission critical equipment up and running.

The rough and rugged world of the industrial environment demands a constant and consistent supply of quality products delivered right to the production floor. Mersen’s industrial bus bar design solutions extend over half a century, delivering the ultimate in optimized, laminated bus bars to countless manufacturers of motor drives, fork lift trucks, welding machines, power generators, industrial testing machines, and much more. Mersen’s laminated bus bar designs provide application specific characteristics, achieving a consistent level of performance that cannot be matched through wires, cables, or simple bars of copper.

Mersen’s innovative BusFLEXX connectors allow for connectivity of cables to bus bars, electrical/electronic components to bus bars and even bus bar to bus bars wherever there is a need for mechanical gap tolerances and/or thermal compensation.
