REDUCED TEMPERATURE RISE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS

摘要

An electrical connector having a reduced temperature rise system is described herein. The electrical connector can include a conductor receiver and a conductor mechanically coupled to the conductor receiver. The conductor can include a pin having electrically conductive material and an exposed end. The conductor can also include at least one compression member disposed along a portion of the outer perimeter of the pin at a first distance from the exposed end. When the conductor is coupled to the conductor receiver, the compression member contacts the wall of the conductor receiver to the pin. Alternatively, the conductor receiver can have an electrically conductive first portion and a second portion. Further, the conductor can have a conductive pin and a guide pin. The guide pin can force the first portion to expand and compress around the conductive pin as the conductor is mechanically coupled to the conductor receiver.

1. An electrical connector, comprising:
a conductor receiver comprising an electrically conductive material, a receiving end, and at least one wall enclosing a cavity and forming a receiver shape, wherein the conductor receiver has an inner perimeter; and a conductor mechanically coupled to the conductor receiver through the receiving end, wherein the conductor comprises:
a pin comprising the electrically conductive material and an exposed end, wherein the pin has an outer perimeter; andat least one compression member disposed along a portion of the outer perimeter of the pin at a first distance from the exposed end, wherein the at least one compression member extends away from the outer perimeter and toward the exposed end at an acute angle, wherein the at least one wall contacts the pin when the conductor receiver is mechanically coupled to the conductor.
