Apparatus and method for connecting two electrical conductors (102,104) by means of a bladder (110) having a substantially constant volume of confined fluid interacting between a backing member (106) and one of the conductors (104). The bladder forms a compliant membrane surface (108) that transmits fluid pressure nearly hydrostatically from one conductor (104), to the other (102) such that the intimate contact of the surfaces (116) between the conductors provides an improved electrical connection, especially for small scale multi-conductors. A two-step, cam actuated connector (250,300) is disclosed which provides a low pressure wiping action between the conductors before the conductors are locked together, preferably by pressurization of the bladder (218,308). |
