Multi-Wire FusionLug® Solves Reliability Problems CHALLENGE Methode was approached to improve the reliability of an existing power-cable system used to distribute 48 VDC to three separate loads. SOLUTION Our team replaced the original design with three PowerFlexTM cables terminated into one FusionLug®. STORY The customer distributed 48 VDC to three separate loads. The existing cable, consisting of a machined bracket with a large solder cup, failed frequently due to the cold solder joints. Methode designed a custom right-angle FusionLug® placed around the ends of three 6 AWG PowerFlexTM cables. The three cables were terminated with existing hardware. The new design also successfully reduced the cost of the entire assembly.
