S-type flexible terminal

S-type flexible terminal

This electrical connection conductor consists of several rows or layers of tin-plated flat braided wires and has compression-molded terminals attached to both ends.

Features

  • Superior flexibility
    A flat braided wire is used for the flexible part to enable complex bending and twisting during installation.

  • S-4000 type (width: 200)

P-type flexible terminal

P-type flexible terminal

A small electrical connection conductor that consists of multiple layers of tin-plated flat braided wires and has terminals on both ends.

Features

  • Superior flexibility
    A flat braided wire with a diameter of 0.12 mm is used for the flexible part to enable complex installation that involves bending and twisting.
  • Stable quality
    We use a simplified structure and standardized processing method to produce products with stable quality.
  • Supports mass production
  • FEPS can also manufacture products in which the flexible part is covered with an insulating tube

Variations

  • P-300 Type (width: 15)
  • P-400 Type (width: 20)

Heat-resistant flexible terminal with flat braided wire

Heat-resistant flexible terminal with flat braided wire

The heat-resistant flexible terminal with flat braided wire is an electrical connection conductor made of heat-resistant element wire and has compression-molded terminals attached to both ends.

Features

  • Superior flexibility
    We improve flexibility by thinning the flat braided wire used in the flexible part. This enables complex installation that involves bending and twisting.
  • Superior heat resistance
    This product achieves grater heat resistance than copper flat braided wire.
    Heat resistance temperature: 300°C
    Please note that this value is not guaranteed.

  • Please consult with us regarding sizes.
    FEPS can manufacture sizes to meet your needs. Please contact us for further information.

Variations

  • HRS-500 type Width: 25 mm (nominal cross-section area: 22 m²)
  • HRS-500 type Width: 25 mm (nominal cross-section area: 30 m²)
  • HRS-800 type Width: 40 mm (nominal cross-section area: 60m²)

Flexible terminal with copper bars

Flexible terminal with copper bars

This flexible terminal with copper bar is an electrical connection conductor. It is made by using electron beam welding to attach compression-molded terminals and copper bars to both ends of a tin-plated flat braided wire.

Features

  • Superior flexibility
    A flat braided wire is used for the flexible part to enable installation that involves bending.
  • Can be used in tight spaces
    Electron beam welding is used to join the flexible terminal end and copper bar without any unevenness, so the terminal can be used in tight spaces.
    Furthermore, copper bars are machinable and can be processed into various shapes.
  • Please consult with us regarding sizes and specifications.
    FEPS will work to meet your needs for sizes and specifications. Please don't hesitate to consult with us.
