Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to multiple-contact woven power connectors that have at least a first set of loading fibers and at least a first set of conductors. When woven onto a set of loading fibers, the conductors define a space. The loading fibers are capable of delivering contact forces at the contact points of the conductors. The conductors can comprise a power circuit or a return circuit. The power connectors may also include tensioning springs that are capable of generating tensile loads within the loading fibers. The power connectors may further include mating conductors that can be coupled to the power/return circuits. When disposed within the first and second spaces, respectively, electrical connections between the conductors and the mating conductors can be established.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to electrical switches that utilize conductors that are woven onto loading fibers and a mating conductor that has a contact mating surface. Each conductor has at least one contact point. The loading fibers are capable of delivering a contact force at each contact point of the conductors. Electrical connections are established between the contact points of conductors and the contact mating surface of the mating conductor when the conductor-loading fiber weave is engaged with the mating conductor and the electrical connections are terminated when the conductor-loading fiber waeve is disengaged from the mating conductor. In one embodiment, the portion of the contact mating surface of the mating conductor where arcing between the conductors and the mating is expected to occur is plated with a conductive arc-tolerant material, such as silver, for example. In another embodiments, the portions of the conductors where arcing is expected to occur are plated with a conductive arc-tolerant material. In an alternate embodiment, the conductors are made thicker where arcing between the conductors and the mating conductor is expected to occur. The contact mating surface of the mating conductor can include a non-conductive portion that assists in guiding the conductor-loading fiber weave when its being engaged and disengage from the mating conductor.
