Title: Low resistance, low-inductance power connectors

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1568130
; ; ;

An electrical connector includes an anode for conducting an electrical supply current from a source to a destination, a cathode for conducting an electrical return current from the destination to the source, and an insulator that prevents electrical conduction between the anode and the cathode. The first and second shapes are such as to provide a conformity of one to the other, with the insulator placed therebetween and having a predetermined relatively thin thickness. A predetermined low-resistance path for the supply current is provided respectively by the anode and the cathode, and a proximity of the anode to the cathode along these paths provides a predetermined low self-inductance of the connector. The anode and the cathode each comprises a plurality of sections that are disposed at one or more predetermined angles to form a rigid assembly that accommodates a geometry between the source and the destination.
