Electric meter socket assembly

摘要

An electric meter socket assembly for an electric meter includes a female electrical contact defining a slot for receiving a male electrical contact of an electric meter to electrically connect to the electric meter. In one example, the male contact guide is in thermal contact with the female electrical contact and is configured to facilitate insertion of the male electrical contact of the electrical meter into the slot defined by the female electrical contact. The male contact guide includes a plurality of heat sink fins configured to dissipate heat generated from resistive heating of the female electrical contact. In another example, an anti-rotation stop configured to inhibit rotation of the female electrical contact relative to a mounting member on which the female electrical contact is to be mounted.
