Connection Holes Component – Electrical Equipment Manufacturing

Component Specifications

Definition

Connection holes are precisely engineered apertures in electrical busbars designed to facilitate reliable electrical connections through bolted or clamped interfaces. These holes maintain proper alignment, ensure uniform contact pressure, and provide mechanical stability while accommodating thermal expansion and electrical load variations in power distribution applications.

Working Principle

Connection holes enable electrical continuity by providing mounting points for conductors, allowing current to flow through bolted or clamped connections while maintaining mechanical integrity through precise hole positioning and sizing that distributes stress evenly across the busbar surface.

Materials

Typically match busbar material: Copper (C11000, C10100), Aluminum (6061, 6101), or copper-aluminum composites; may include plating (tin, silver, nickel) for corrosion resistance and improved conductivity.

Technical Parameters

Burr Height ≤ 0.1mm maximum
Edge Distance Minimum 1.5× hole diameter from busbar edge
Hole Diameter M6-M20 (standard metric) or 1/4"-3/4" (imperial)
Hole Tolerance ±0.1mm for precision applications
Pitch Distance 2.5-3× hole diameter between centers
Surface Finish Ra ≤ 3.2μm for optimal contact

Standards

ISO 12944-5, DIN 43673, IEC 61439-1, ASTM B187
