    Core Advantage The laminated structure reduces the skin effect, with less contact between the insulating layer and the conductor, high flexibility, and the ability to be folded and twisted. It has strong seismic resistance, is suitable for equipment vibration and thermal expansion and contraction, and has better high-temperature resistance than laminated type.

    The Core Structure for Insulated Copper Flexible Connector

    • 1
      Conductive Core High-purity oxygen-free copper braided tape (or copper foil lamination) is adopted as the core conductive component. Both ends are solidified into solid copper terminals through cold pressing or brazing processes to ensure high current transmission capacity and connection reliability.
    • 2
      Insulating Protective Layer Insulating materials are coated on the surface of the conductive core. Common processes and materials are as follows:
    • 3
      Heat Shrink Tube Coating Polyolefin, fluoroplastic (PTFE, PVDF) or silicone rubber heat shrink tubes are selected. After heating, they are closely attached to the core body. The insulation layer thickness is 0.3–2.0mm, and it has the characteristics of flame retardancy, high-temperature resistance and acid and alkali corrosion resistance.
    • 4
      Dip Molding Process The core is immersed in epoxy resin or polyurethane insulating resin. After curing, a uniform insulating layer is formed, with a protection level up to IP67, making it suitable for damp and dusty environments.
    • 5
      Local Insulation Spraying Only the non-connection areas are sprayed with insulating paint, leaving the terminal parts exposed to meet the conductive connection requirements of specific scenarios.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    ❓ What is the difference between laminated and braided insulated copper flexible connectors?
    Laminated connectors use layered copper foil to reduce skin effect and offer high flexibility suitable for folding and twisting, making them ideal for battery packs and switch cabinets. Braided connectors use woven copper strands, providing stronger seismic resistance and better high-temperature performance, making them preferred for rail transit and industrial furnace applications.
    ❓ What insulation materials are available for the flexible connectors?
    Laminated types typically use PVC or heat shrink tubing (EVA/PE) with an operating temperature range of -40℃ to 125℃. Braided types use silicone rubber or fluoroplastic materials, supporting a wider range of -45℃ to 200℃. All materials meet the UL94 V-0 flame retardant grade.
    ❓ Can the insulated copper flexible connector be customized?
    Yes. All key parameters can be customized, including connector length, width, thickness, hole number and sizes, cross-sectional area, surface treatment (bare copper, tin plating, nickel plating), and insulation materials. Please provide your specifications and our engineers will offer a tailored solution.
    ❓ What current capacities are supported by these flexible connectors?
    Laminated types support from 125A (Spec 1 at △T=20K) up to 1300A (Spec 4 at △T=50K). Braided types range from 150A for small sizes up to 3000A for large sizes, covering a broad spectrum of industrial and power applications.
    ❓ What are the main application areas for insulated copper flexible connectors?
    They are widely used in new energy vehicle battery packs, UPS systems, high and low voltage switch cabinets (laminated type), as well as rail transit traction converters, industrial electric arc furnaces, and energy storage power stations (braided type).
    ❓ What is the protection level of the dip-molded insulated connector?
    Connectors produced using the dip molding process — where the core is immersed in epoxy resin or polyurethane insulating resin — can achieve a protection level of up to IP67, making them suitable for use in damp, dusty, or harsh environments.
