McConkey, Joshua S.

An electrical arrangement (10), including: a first conductor (12) having a first generally planar contact area (34); a second conductor (12) having a second generally planar contact area (40); an intermediate conductor (44) having a first faying area (84) overlying the first contact area and a second faying area (86) overlying the second contact area; a compression arrangement configured to compress the first faying area and the first contact area toward each other and to compress the second faying area and the second contact area toward each other; and a dimpling structure (46) effective to create plural contact points (74) between the first faying area and the first contact area and between the second faying area and the second contact area when the first and the second faying areas and the first and second contact areas are compressed toward each other by the compression arrangement.
