High Current Bus bar to PCB mount Help
(OP)
Hi,
I'm trying to get 200Amps onto a PCB, however space is somewhat limited and all the typcial connectors I see seem to be really oversized, and I just need one single connection, so I saw this online and thought it might work. However I cannot find out the part number or even the name of the part. I'm not sure if its a custom part, or they sell them with current ratings and various stud sizes. Does anyone know where I can get this L bracket with stud hole one one end and PCB solder pins on the other? Or any other better way to get this much power on the board easily?
Thanks alot.

> It's highly unlikely that you're going to get 200A through three pins; the current crowding would potentially generate so large an IR drop that'll swamp out your unspecified voltage requirements.

My application would be 24Vdc nominal, with a maximum steady state current of 200Amps.

I.e. copper 'foil' thick enough to carry that kind of current will probably be thick enough to be self-supporting. You might need a separate sheet of FR4 to support the components.

Take a look at Automation Source Technologies. They make pancake motors. Their armatures basically are PCBs with very thick tracks.
They may be willing to help you.

You could have the part you posted in your first post fabricated for much..much less.
200A and "space is limited" on a PCB just doesn't sound like a good idea.

for the output connector I was gonna use two D-subminiature connectors with 8 #8AWG contacts ( htt

This is why I suggested looking into pancake motors. The pancake motor sitting on my desk has armature tracks that appear to be around .010" thick. They can probably go thicker.
