High current electrical joint apparatus

摘要

Electrical joint apparatus includes an array of stab connectors each having plural contact fingers and an array of receiver connectors each having contact fingers arranged in lapped relation with the contact fingers of an associated stab connector. A clamping rod extends freely through apertures in the stab fingers and carries springs at each end of the stab connector array. A first cam follower, affixed to one end of the rod, and a second cam follower movably supported on the rod, are driven in opposite directions by a cam, such as to uniformly load the springs and thereby develop equal and oppositely directed forced clamping the lapped fingers in electrical interconnection.
