Abstract:
A power terminal connector (102) includes a terminal (152) having a terminal body (200) defining a receptacle (202). The terminal body has a front end (212) open to the receptacle that receives a power terminal. The terminal body has a series of notches (216) separated by posts (218) at the front end. A contact spring (204) is received in the receptacle and has a first band (224) and a second band (226) with spring beams (228) extending between the first and second bands. The spring beams resiliently engage the power terminal. The bands engage the terminal body to create a power path between the terminal body and the power terminal. The first band has a series of tabs (230) extending therefrom separated by gaps (232). The tabs are received in corresponding notches and the gaps receive corresponding posts to secure the contact spring in the terminal box.
Abstract:
An electrical contact assembly (10) includes a first electrical contact (12) having a first mating element (16), and a second electrical contact (14) having a second mating element (18). The first and second electrical contacts being configured to mate together at the first and second mating elements such that the first and second mating elements engage each other at a contact interface (20). A distribution of contact pressure across the contact interface at least partially coincides with a distribution of electrical current flow across the contact interface.

Abstract:
A system for batch forming a sheet of spring elements in three dimensions includes a top spacer layer. A plurality of ball bearings is arranged in a predetermined pattern on the top spacer layer. A spring element sheet containing the spring elements defined in two dimensions is positioned on the top spacer layer and the plurality of ball bearings. A top spacer layer is positioned on the spring element sheet. The top spacer layer and the bottom support layer are adapted to have a force applied thereto to push the plurality of ball bearings against the spring element sheet, such that the spring elements extend above the plane of the spring element sheet, thereby forming the spring elements in three dimensions.
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 invention relates to an electrical socket contact (1) having a receptacle (2) which is open at least against a plugging direction(6) and which is for introducing a plug contact (4) in the plugging direction (6). Socket contacts (1) of this type are known. Typically, retainers that can be widened elastically and are made of stamped and bent sheet metal are used for contacting the plug contact (4) and retaining it in a vibration-proof manner. The manufacture of these retainers is expensive, and the plug-in process requires large plug-in forces in the case of sufficiently vibration-proof retention. To avoid these problems, it is provided according to the invention that the receptacle (2) is formed at least in sections by a web (8) manufactured from electrically conductive material, the strands (10) of the web (8) being held movably relative to one another and are, at least in sections, at an incline to the plugging direction (6).
