Best Practices for Soldering, Brazing and Solderfree Methodologies for Use in Busbar Designs

July 16, 2024 5:20 pm Published by Storm Power Team

Joining together multiple busbar segments is often a requirement for creating complex, unified busbar designs. In some cases, it may be necessary to create a longer busbar out of short segments or to incorporate T-segments into the design. Also adding bushings for mounting, insulation and/or mechanical strength are key factors for many busbar designs. This new Applications Note provides an overview of the key considerations that must be kept in mind for choosing the best approach, including:

Mechanical Strength
Electrical Integrity
Material Compatibility
Heat Management
Lifecycle Performance
Environmental Issues
Production Efficiency
Cost Effectiveness

Within this context, the App Note provides detail on three alternatives:

Soldering
Brazing
Solderfree Press-fit

For each approach, we address how it fits with the overall design considerations and analyze the tradeoffs between the three alternatives. Click Here to Read the Soldering, Brazing and Solderfree Applications Note
