New HIRIP
Advantage

No joints (welding / brazing) in the current path straight through


design
Smooth transition from the round hollow conductor to the parallel
terminals reduces the electrical resistance
The integrated terminal pads of the conductor guarantee a better
current distribution in the aluminum conductor
Integrated cooling ribs, mechanically protected
Very large creepage distance of 1080mm
High mechanical rigidity
