Druseidt - EMC, small and grounding braided connections
- Druseidt - EMC, small and grounding braided connections
Druseidt's EMC, small and grounding braided connections are ready-to-install connecting and grounding conductors made of flexible copper tapes or braids, intended for quick assembly in power installations, control cabinets, grounding systems, EMC shielding, and potential equalization systems. Products in this category combine high mechanical flexibility with excellent electrical conductivity, ensuring durable and reliable connections even under high dynamic loads.
Range of the Druseidt's EMC, small and grounding braided connections
Braided copper tapes (bare or tinned), with PVC or silicone insulation
Basic braided tapes available in bare, tinned, as well as PVC or silicone insulated variants.
- Possibility of versions with dip-tinned ends, solderless crimped contact sleeves, welded contact surfaces or selected cable terminals.
- Flexible connections with solderless crimped ends according to DIN 46234.
- Made of soft, annealed ETP1 copper wires according to DIN EN 13602.
- High flexibility and optimized contact resistance (for versions with copper sleeves).
- Druseidt crimping technology guarantees extreme compaction and optimal resistance by tightly compressing the wires.
Grounding connections with tinned ends or solderless crimped brass sleeves
Standard grounding connections characterized by manufacturing methods of the past.
- Relatively high electrical resistance for dip-tinned versions.
- Tin flows out under the pressure of the screw connection.
- Lower electrical conductivity of brass sleeves compared to copper sleeves.
- Technology not reflecting today's manufacturing standards.
Current and grounding conductors with welded contact surfaces
Connections whose contact surfaces are welded without additional materials, creating solid ends.
- Extremely low electrical resistance.
- Available as grounding and current tapes.
- High quality with massive, compact contact areas.
- Long-term stability with improved electrical aging behavior, as moisture cannot penetrate the contact areas.
- Exceptional flexibility for absorbing vibrations, compensating for busbar displacements and shocks.
- Braided tapes have significantly lower impedance than round cables of the same cross-section, making them suitable for grounding in high-frequency areas.
- Available with various insulation materials such as extruded PVC (-20°C to +105°C) or silicone (-50°C to +180°C). The extruded insulation fits tightly to the braid, improving heat dissipation and flexibility.
- Available in multilayer versions for currents up to 1000 A.
Flexible current and grounding conductors made of aluminium or stainless steel braids
Products intended for applications where copper material is not sufficiently resistant or cannot be used for other reasons.
- Contact surfaces are produced by solderless crimping of stainless steel or aluminium sleeves.
- The high-pressure crimping process provides a very well compacted connection surface.
- For stainless steel, made of soft, annealed stainless steel wires 1.4401.
- For aluminium, available in single or multilayer versions.
- Ideal for connections of heating elements in industrial furnaces where low electrical resistance is crucial.
- Offered in many types of connections (e.g., single or double-sided terminals, flat connections, special versions with multiple terminals).
- Can be customized to client requirements in terms of length, holes and contact surface dimensions.
Narrow current conductors with welded contact surfaces (for compact circuit breakers)
Flexible current conductors with a narrow shape relative to the cross-section, with solidly welded contact surfaces.
- Ideal for connecting compact circuit breakers with narrow current outputs to busbar systems.
- They can also be used to replace flexible busbars.
- Available with standard insulation in the form of silicone or heat-shrink tubes.
- Silicone insulation offers high flexibility and a wide temperature range (-50°C to +180°C).
Typical applications
- Control cabinets and switchboards: Preferred for grounding, equipotential, EMC and small current connections.
- Grounding applications: As grounding tapes, including in high-frequency areas thanks to the low impedance of braids.
- Current transmission: As current conductors and current transfer elements.
- Space-limited or movement-requiring applications: Highly flexible connectors with silicone insulation and multilayer current conductors.
- Compact circuit breaker connections: Narrow current conductors with welded ends are ideal for connecting breakers with narrow current outputs to busbar systems.
- Industrial furnace constructions: Flexible aluminium connections are often required for connecting electrically powered heaters, where low electrical resistance is crucial.
- Chemical and shipbuilding industries: Highly flexible stainless steel connectors, due to their special chemical resistance requirements.
- Vibration damping, compensation of busbar displacements and shocks: Products with welded ends are extremely flexible and can handle these challenges.
