How are laminated copper connectors made?
Copper connectors are also called flexible
jumpers. They are made from high conductivity
electrolytic grades of copper. These connectors
are manufactured by stacking several leaves of
electrolytic copper on top of one another. A
high pressure and current is applied to this
stack. Metal diffusion occurs where the metal
melts and becomes a uniform bond. This gives the
copper a small millivolt drops across the copper
connector. This increases the current-carrying
ability of the jumper.

Where are laminated copper connectors used?
These flexible connectors may be used as elastic
expansion joint to connect busbars in power
plants, switchgear industries, caustic soda, bus
ducts, transformers, resistance welding
engineering, Galvano Engineering, electric
locomotives, etc.

How are laminated copper connectors made?

• These connectors prevent damage from occurring to
  other switchgears or machine parts.
• They handle dynamic and thermal stresses caused
  by a short in circuit current system.
• These jumpers must handle movements within the
  switchgear and machines.
• Press welding is the most common method for
  producing laminated copper connectors.
• This method involves the application of direct
  pressure and current to the copper strips. It
  results in a solid palm.

Why is press welding the preferred method?
Using pressing welding, there is minimal
resistance which increases the life of the
product and reduces downtime. Welding also
creates some of the best electrical and
mechanical properties. If you have a specific
requirement for your copper connector, contact
your local supplier. To order your laminated
