Where to buy busbar?

weinstro · 18th March 2005, 07:06 AM

Hello,

I'm shopping for some copper busbar, but am having trouble locating a source. Any suggestions?

Ultimate usage will be for grounding systems in my amplifiers.

Thanks,

Rob

I found some copper sheet, 0.025" thick, 4" by 10", at the local hardware store in a package called "Create With Metal". My application is the same as yours: the copper is getting drilled then bolted atop the supply caps in a power amp.

Try McMaster Carr. They are online. I might have the spelling wrong.

Thick industrial copper, for a few pennies.

Hi,
try earthing strap. Comes with or without a green plastic insulating sleeve. Used for lightning protection and interconnecting power phases.
