CU9669 Terminal Strip

Terminal Strip Description

Terminal Strip is produced using a blend of copper alloys (LY32, C14415, C26800, and C1100) to provide dependable electrical conduction and enhanced structural stability. Its engineered composition reduces oxidation risk and ensures uniform grain structure, which supports consistent thermal and electrical performance. These technical attributes are crucial in applications where precise connectivity and resilience under variable operating conditions are required, making the product suitable for use in advanced equipment and testing environments.

Terminal Strip Applications

1.       Electronics and Electrical Systems
   - Used as a conductive interconnect in circuit assemblies to achieve stable signal transmission by leveraging its controlled conductivity.
   - Applied as bus bars in power distribution systems to manage high current flows and reduce energy loss through its optimised alloy composition.

2.       Industrial and Research Equipment
   - Serves as terminal connectors in automated machinery to improve electrical contact efficiency by minimising oxidation and ensuring consistent material properties.
   - Frequently used in sensor assemblies to maintain predictable performance under thermal fluctuations by exploiting its uniform grain structure.

Terminal Strip Packing

The Terminal Strip is secured in anti-static, moisture-resistant packaging to prevent mechanical damage and contamination. It is wrapped in a protective film and placed within rigid, recyclable cartons that include desiccants to control humidity. Storage conditions require a cool, dry, and low-vibration environment. Packaging customisation options are available to meet specific shipping and handling requirements while preserving product integrity.
