Bus Bar

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.
