PTFE hose resistance to over 230 substances listed
Icore's lightweight and stainless-steel braided convoluted PTFE hoses are suitable for use with media,including oxygen, potable water, chemicals, fuel, hot oil, coolant and hydraulic fluid
All types feature high-conductivity silver-plated contacts with steel tension springs, and are exceptionally tolerant of minor misalignment between the connector and the busbars.
Suitable for use with 5mm, 6mm and 0.25in copper busbars, Icore busbar connectors are available in one-, three- and four-pole versions with insulated housings, and in single-pole non-insulated versions.
Multipole versions can be supplied to suit either 50 or 60mm busbar spacing, and all versions can be used on systems operating at up to 660V.
Depending on the model, the connectors have fault current withstand ratings up to 50kA.
Insulated connectors in the range have an IP20 protection rating, which means that they can be used safely without the need for additional protective shuttering, which simplifies equipment design, as well as reducing costs and assembly time.
The connector housings are manufactured from robust zero-halogen, low-smoke material, and can operate without degradation at temperatures of up to 110C.
For ease of termination of outgoing circuits, all busbar connectors in Icore's extensive range are offered with either threaded stud-type terminals for use with crimped connector lugs, or with screw-clamp connectors for 35, 50 or 70mm2 cables.
