LAMINATED SHUNTS 

Laminated shunts are secondary conductors made of thin strip copper or aluminum. Shunts are available in many standard sizes or made to customer specifications.

They are normally supplied with their ends secured by swaged and riveted copper clips which are ground smooth. However, loose ends, solder dipped ends or welded construction are also available, as well as silver-plated contact surfaces.

Shunt Types

Hole Patterns

Because of the custom characteristics of laminated shunts, the following information must be specified when ordering:

1. Shunt type (shape letter)
2. Shunt thickness (less clip)
3. Shunt lamination thickness each, i.e., .005, .010 or ______
4. Shunt width
5. Shunt length (outside length)
6. Hole size
7. Hole pattern (pattern letter)
8. End treatment (clip, solder, etc.)

LAMINATED SHUNTS "PRESS-MAJIC"® SHUNTS

The first new laminated shunt on the market in twenty years has been created by Electro-Max utilizing it's revolutionary "Press-Majic"® process, and is tailored for the smaller variety shunts used in robot welders, conventional gun shunt applications as well as circuit breaker and tap switch components.

Designed for production quantities of 25 or more pieces and utilizing tin-plated copper, we can provide you with a shunt that has the lowest resistance values of any shunt on the market today. All laminations and end plates (which replace the clips) are die-cut and then fused together on our press-welding equipment. Rivets have been eliminated, which were one of the greatest contributors to higher resistance values.

In addition, a multitude of current carrying applications requiring bare copper can be press-welded on our equipment utilizing copper leaf as thin as .001.
