Abstract
Busbar comprising a supporting body (1) made of a tough-hard material, and at least one electrical conductor (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, . . . ), wherein the conductor (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, . . . ) is connected to the supporting body (1). The supporting body (1) comprises a seal (3) that is made of a rubber-elastic material, which encloses the conductor (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, . . . ) on the outer circumferential side with an annular sealing region (4) in a sealing manner.
Claims17
A busbar comprising:
- a supporting body with a core having an outer circumference surrounded by a collar-shaped fastening flange, the core having a greater thickness than the fastening flange, the supporting body made of a tough-hard material;
- and
- at least one electrical conductor connected to the supporting body, the conductor having an outer perimeter,
- wherein the supporting body comprises a seal made of a rubber-elastic material and configured to enclose the outer perimeter of the conductor in a sealing manner, and
- wherein the seal further comprises a flange region having an ‘L’ shaped cross-section, a first portion of the flange region abutting the fastening flange and a second portion of the flange region enclosing the circumference of the core in a sealing manner.

A busbar arrangement comprising:
- a housing containing a liquid medium and having a top side defining an opening;
- a busbar comprised of a supporting body with a core having an outer circumference surrounded by a collar-shaped fastening flange, the core having a greater thickness than the fastening flange and configured to project into the opening such that the fastening flange abuts the top side of the housing, the supporting body being made of a tough-hard material, and an at least one electrical conductor connected to the supporting body, the conductor having an outer perimeter;
- and
- a seal made of a rubber-elastic material and configured to enclose the outer perimeter of the conductor in a sealing manner,
- wherein the seal further comprises a flange region having an ‘L’ shaped cross-section, a first portion of the flange region being disposed between the fastening flange and the top side of the housing and a second portion of the flange region being disposed between the circumferential side of the core and the opening of the housing, the flange region configured to seal the housing against the surroundings of the housing such that the liquid medium of the housing will not leak to a surrounding area.
