Rittal SV 9650.330 Copper connection plate for laminated copper busbars

The Rittal SV 9650.330 Copper connection plate for laminated copper busbars is a precision metal component intended to provide a reliable conductive interface for electrical connections and distribution inside switchgear and control cabinets. Finished in a copper colour, the plate is designed to mate with laminated flat copper busbars to ensure secure termination and low-resistance contact where multiple conductors or device terminations are required.

Advantages

This copper connection plate offers good electrical conductivity and a stable mechanical contact surface compatible with laminated copper busbars. Its flat, robust construction facilitates straightforward installation and consistent electrical performance under normal operating conditions. The copper-coloured finish helps with visual identification of copper connection points in assemblies and can assist in corrosion resistance when used within appropriate environmental conditions.

Suitable for

• Termination and connection of laminated flat copper busbars (up to two layers of 10×3 mm as intended for this model)
• Electrical distribution and branching inside switchgear and control cabinets
• Retrofit or new installations requiring a dedicated conductive plate for busbar interfacing

When it may not be suitable

This connection plate is intended for use with laminated copper busbars of the specified dimensions and may not be appropriate for non-laminated, plated, or significantly different cross-section conductors. It is not a standalone protective device; electrical design must include suitable fuses, breakers, and mechanical supports. For environments with aggressive corrosive agents or where specialized surface treatments are required, consult material compatibility guidance before installation.

Key specifications

• Material: copper (copper-coloured conductive plate)
• Compatibility: designed for laminated flat copper busbars up to two layers of 10×3 mm
• Application area: switchgear and control cabinet internal connections
• Function: conductive termination/connection plate for busbar interfaces

How to use

Mount the connection plate directly onto the laminated copper busbar stack at the intended termination point, ensuring correct alignment and surface contact. Secure the plate with appropriate hardware and torque values as specified by the overall system documentation to maintain low-resistance electrical contact. Verify mechanical fixation and perform electrical continuity and insulation checks as part of commissioning. Follow all applicable electrical safety practices during installation and servicing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with the laminated copper busbar dimensions and layering used in your installation
• Ensure the connection plate material and finish are acceptable for the installation environment
• Check that mounting and fastening hardware, as well as required torque specifications, are available in your assembly documentation
• Assess whether additional protective measures (insulation, covers, or barriers) are needed for safety and regulatory compliance

Usage recommendations

Use this Rittal copper connection plate when you need a straightforward, conductive interface for laminated 10×3 mm copper busbars in switchgear or control cabinets. For reliable long-term performance, maintain clean contact surfaces, apply correct fastening torque, and incorporate appropriate protective covers or insulation where exposed to personnel or conductive foreign objects.
