Eaton Copper Busbar 12x5x1500mm CU12X5 (034121)

In industrial switchgear and control panel assembly, a reliable copper busbar is essential for efficient power distribution. The Eaton CU12X5 busbar, measuring 12 mm wide, 5 mm thick, and 1500 mm long, is crafted from high-conductivity electrolytic copper (E-Cu) to ensure minimal resistance and excellent current carrying capacity. Its rectangular cross-section and bare copper finish make it ideal for custom busbar systems, where it can be cut, drilled, or bent to fit specific layouts.

Key specifications

• Material: Electrolytic copper (E-Cu), DIN EN 13601 compliant
• Dimensions: 12 mm width, 5 mm thickness, 1500 mm length
• Shape: Rectangular busbar
• Surface finish: Bare copper
• Conductivity: High electrical conductivity for efficient power distribution
• Corrosion resistance: Good, suitable for indoor applications
• RoHS compliant: Yes
• Weight per meter: Approx. 0.538 kg

Why choose it

This busbar offers a combination of high purity copper and precise dimensions, ensuring consistent performance in demanding electrical installations. Its bare surface allows for easy connections via bolting or clamping, and the material is readily solderable if needed. The DIN EN 13601 compliance guarantees quality and traceability, making it a trusted choice for professionals.

Ideal use cases

• Switchgear and control panel busbar systems
• Power distribution in industrial machinery
• Custom busbar fabrication for electrical enclosures
• Equipotential bonding and grounding applications

Good to know

The busbar is supplied in a 1500 mm length, which can be easily cut to required sizes using standard metalworking tools. For optimal performance, ensure proper contact surfaces are clean and tightened to recommended torque values. The bare copper surface may develop a natural patina over time, which does not affect conductivity but can be cleaned if a bright finish is desired.
