Heat-shrinkable tube insulated busbar: lightweight insulation solution for new energy high-voltage systems
Feb 14, 2025
Product Analysis: Core Structure of Heat Shrink Tube Insulated Busbar
Heat Shrink Tube Polyolefin Busbar is composed of conductive metal busbar (copper/aluminum) and high-performance heat shrink sleeve, which is tightly covered through heat shrink process. Its technical features include:
Conductive substrate: T2 copper or 6063 aluminum alloy, conductivity ≥98% IACS, supports 1000V-1500V high-voltage scenarios
Insulation layer: double-layer structure heat shrinkable tube (inner layer with high adhesion, outer layer with weather resistance), common materials include:
Polyolefin (PO): Working temperature -55℃~125℃, breakdown strength ≥25kV/mm
Fluorine rubber (FKM): resistant to high temperatures up to 200°C, passed UL 224 VW-1 flame retardant certification

Technical Advantages: Why Choose Heat Shrink Tube Insulation Solution?
Security protection upgrade
Heat Shrink Tubing BusBar is covered with 360° without dead corners, has a protection level of IP67, and can withstand salt spray, acid and alkali, and hot and humid environments (IEC 60068-2 standard)
Double-layer flame retardant structure design, passed UL 94 V-0 certification, effectively blocks the spread of arc
Lightweight and space optimization
The thickness of the insulation layer is only 0.5-2.0mm, which reduces the weight by 15%-20% compared with traditional solutions.
Foldable design adapts to CTP (Cell to Pack) battery pack, increasing space utilization by 12%
Quick installation and maintenance
The heat shrink process is easy to construct on site, and the heating shrinkage temperature range is 120℃-180℃

Application scenarios: Typical use cases in the new energy field
