Apparatus for electrically coupling a linear conductor to a surface conductor and related method

摘要

An apparatus is provided for electrically coupling an end of a linear conductor to a surface conductor. The apparatus includes a housing for receiving the linear conductor end. The housing includes a channel having a channel axis that is non-collinear with respect to the linear conductor axis. The apparatus further includes a conductive member movably disposed within the channel of the housing to move along the channel axis. The conductive member has a first end electrically coupled to the linear conductor end and a second end to electrically couple the conductive member to the surface conductor. The apparatus still further includes a biasing member in mechanical communication with the conductive member to bias the conductive member in electrical contact with the surface conductor. Related methods are provided.
