Louvered Contact Band – Nominal Current Calculation The following examples will show ho to determine the nominal current ratings for two different types of weftron.com Louver_tron contacts when used with different metal components. In the example louvered contact band is installed inside a socket with a mating pin diameter of 25mm => Lay flat length…
Louvered Contact Band – Technology louvered contact band is a precision stamped metal strip. It is used for electrical power and signal transmission between the metal components of an electrical connection. The louver shaped contact bridges are arranged in parallel along the length of the metal band. Similar to ladder rungs they are attached to…
What is Louver_tron contact band and what are the benefits of multiple contact points in a connector?The basic common principle of all Louver_tron contact strips is to provide multiple contact points in a relatively dense arrangement of consecutively sprung contact elements, arranged in parallel. Louver_tron is a product family within the weftron product range of…
Louvered Contact Band – Materials The material that is predominantly used for louvered contact band, especially when speaking about – – – Single Component Contact Bands – is a special Beryllium Copper Alloy. Although pure grade copper would offer much better electrical conduction the mechanical spring properties of hardened CuBe alloy are required for the…
Contact Band for DiY – High Power – Low Loss connectors Louver_tron louvered contacts allow you to integrate a high power connector into your product, adding value to your design. Having to resort to off the shelf componets for an otherwise awsome design may be frustrating. The only reason to do so would probably be…
Louvered Contact Band – Features The final level of achievable power transmission when using contact band is dependent upon several parameters. Some of which are dependent upon best practice, the choice of material and quality of workmanship. Others are variable by design and adoptable to application requirements. Although it is possible to use any conductive…
Louvered Contact Band – Function Certain technical design provisions will need to be observed when using louvered contacts just as it is the case for any mechanical spring application. For a spring to function properly it will require a certain deflection. With no deflection there will be no spring force and no defined conduction between…
Louver_tron contact band adds value in product design High Current Connectors are a complex subject and among several interdependent parameters, the number of contact points and reliable contact forces are key elements to electrical connectors. weftron Louvered contacts enable product designers to add value by making High Current Connectors part of their design. Electrical connectors…
Louvered Contact Band – Tuning Precision machining practices need to be applied when producing the metal components in which contact bands are used. In addition to very tight dimensional tolerances a very precise and smooth surface machining is required to limit surface roughness, completed with a high quality connector grade surface treatment. Each type of…
High Power Rotary Contact Applications from 100A to 10.000A and Higher with weftron’s Louvered Contact Band The task at hand for this High Power Rotary Contact was to transfer a current load of >5000A into a bi-directionally rotating copper shaft. Extended field usage have prooven the succesfull accomplishment. Electrical connectors are a complex subject. Adding…
