An electrical connector.

摘要

An electrical connector for use in arc welding comprises a magnet (14) of generally toroidal shape housed in a cup-shape support (23) and secured by a screw (15) to a body (11) having a surrounding annular face (12) substantially coplanar with the end face (22) of the rim of the cup-shape support. The magnet is made from a material incorporating a high proportion of cobalt having a low temperature coefficient which is resistant to high temperatures and substantially unaffected by the high welding current which flows therethrough in operation.
