Slot interlock connectors for RF welding electrodes include an electrode having a working edge, at least two ends and an integral mounting block which has ends which overshadow the ends of the electrode and provide substantially flat alignment surfaces adjacent to the ends of the electrode. The electrode mayhave a curved or straight working edge and the integral mounting block may be disposed on the interior concave surface of the electrode or the exterior convexsurface of the electrode. According to the invention, the electrode can have one, two, three, four, or more working edges with one, two, three, four, or more integral mounting blocks. The ends of the mounting blocks overshadow the ends of the electrodes and provide substantially flat alignment surfaces or alignmentchannels adjacent to the ends of the electrode. Several embodiments of connectors are disclosed, including connectors having L, T, +, and * configurations. Preferred aspects of the invention include machining the electrode connectors from bronze, brass, aluminum, or copper, providing the working edge of the electrode with tearseal or other type of profile, and providing the integral mounting blocks with pre-drilled mounting holes. |
