Why is insulation necessary for soft connection surfaces?

Copper bar soft connections are usually used in high current scenarios. If the surface is exposed, it is easy to come into contact with surrounding metal components during vibration, mechanical displacement, or foreign object intrusion, causing a short circuit. If the quality of the insulation layer is poor, the current is likely to directly break through the insulation layer, putting the equipment in danger. For the sake of electrical safety, protection requirements, and system reliability, the surface of the soft connection needs to be insulated.

What are the benefits of insulation layer?

1. The insulation layer can effectively prevent electric shock or short circuit caused by overlapping with other wires, making the equipment safer to use.

2. Protect the copper flexible connection itself from external environmental pollution. Due to the exposure of copper flexible connections to air, adding an insulation layer can effectively prevent contamination from dust layers and other contaminants.

3. Extend the service life. The pollution of dust will gradually thicken the surface of copper wire soft connections and have a corrosive effect on the copper wire. Adding insulation can effectively prevent such incidents and extend the service life.
