Application comes first

Brass bars can create multiple organized connection points within a panel or terminal assembly. Their dimensions and connection pattern should follow the conductor layout and enclosure design.

What to specify

A clear enquiry combines material, dimensions and connection details.

  • Overall length, width and thickness

  • Hole count, thread or clamp format

  • Center spacing and mounting holes

  • Surface finish and insulation support

  • Neutral or earth application marking

Copper bar vs brass bar

Copper and brass offer different combinations of conductivity, machinability and mechanical behavior. The material should be selected by the electrical and assembly design rather than appearance or price alone.

Control the drawing revision

For machined bars, keep the approved drawing revision with the order reference so later batches reproduce the same connection pattern.
