The BUSSCO division of CCI is a leading design and manufacturer of custom bus bars and power interconnections for the commercial, industrial and aerospace Industries. BUSSCO offers a personalized single source for design, prototyping, low and high volume manufacturing for both standard and custom projects. The number of layers, size and thickness of conductors, type and thickness of dielectric material, as well as method of termination depend on the electrical and physical requirements of the specific application. Design options are virtually limitless. BUSSCO will work with customers to help design the best product for your application.

Bus bars can be classified into two basic categories, single layer and multi-layer. A single layer bus bar consists of only a single conductor layer that is either insulated or un-insulated. Multi-layer bus bars contain two or more conductors that are separated by insulating layers. Multi-layer bus bars can also be insulated or un-insulated on the outermost conductor layers. A subcategory for both types of bus bars is that of added value. Basically, the bus bar will contain additional components such as fuses, breakers, cable extensions, support brackets and other devices as required by the application.

Bussco designs and manufactures laminated bus bars, power distribution structures, power interconnects, and circuit board stiffener/bus bars. We specialize in innovative designs to satisfy the most stringent electrical and mechanical constraints. Laminated bus bars are passive electronic components that distribute power in electronic equipment. They are used in telecommunication, data processing, industrial control, military, aerospace and other electronic systems. Their modular form can effectively replace the mass of round wire cable harnesses, resulting in a simpler assembly, and lower installed cost.

Since 1968, Bussco has delivered state of the art designs and cost effective solutions to power distribution challenges. We are customer driven to provide quality product with on time delivery and superior service. Bussco engineers and manufactures exclusively in the United States. The unique construction of Bus Bars consisting of laminar conductor layers, thin dielectric and a variety of planar or three-dimensional shapes, allows for superior overall performance when compared to the performance of wiring harnesses.
