AN INJECTION MOLDING SYSTEM HAVING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY FOR A HEATER AND AN ASSOCIATED METHOD OF USE

摘要

An injection molding system injection molding system having at least one heater with an arcuate surface and a nozzle that is in thermal communication with the heater and an associated method of use. This injection molding syst em includes an electrical connector assembly for a heater having at least one electrical connector with a first electrical conductor that is electrically connectable to at least one first conductive portion on a heater and a secon d electrical conductor that is electrically connectable to at least one second conductive portion on the heater, and at least one disconnect mechanism positioned adjacent to the at least one electrical connector and in electric al connection with the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor. An injection molding system can include, but is not limited to, a hot runner system.
