RO-Linx PowerCircuit Busbars provide multifunction capability in a single, compact form factor. Distribute power and signal lines or can have components mounted on the busbar structures to save space and weight. Are 3D, for a range of power distribution applications in EV/HEVs, wind/solar power, and variable-frequency-drive (VFD) markets. Solder-process compatible.
