Improved flexible connector for a circuit breaker

摘要

The circuit interrupter system comprises a circuit interrupter including a fixed contact and a movable contact;, and a fixed electrical terminal. A flexible connector connects with movable contact to the fixed electrical terminal. The flexible connector defines an opening having an edge. The flexible connector includes at least one flexible tab extending inwardly from the edge. The flexible tab is secured in interference fit with the movable contact so that current can flow directly from the movable contact into the flexible connector. The flexible connector has rigid and flexible portions that permit the flexible connector to move axially with the movable contact.
