Low-cost Interconnect for Bus Bars

Anderson Power Products offers the Power Clip electrical power connector. Designed as a low-cost interconnection between two perpendicular power bus bars, the Power Clip is used in “N+1” rectifier, power supply and switching power supply applications. Because the clip accepts a solid 0.125-in.-thick nickel or gold-plated rectangular bus bar tab, there is no need for a mating connector.

The Power Clip has been evaluated to UL1977 and CSA standard C22.2 No. 182.3-M1987, and is rated for up to 300 A of continuous service. The product is also UL approved for true hot plug current interruption of 100 A at 48 V and 200 A at 42 V using a gold bus bar tab.
