Interdigitated power connector

An electrical connector for conducting current substantially parallel to a z direction of a Cartesian coordinate system comprising an x axis, a y axis, and a z axis, all mutually orthogonal, thereby defining an xy plane spanned by the x and y axes, an xz plane spanned by the x and z axes, and a yz plane spanned by the y and z axes, in which context the electrical connector conducts current from a power source at the positive z end of the connector to a power sink at the negative z end of the connector, the electrical connector comprising:

• an anode formed into a first shape of uniform cross-section along the z direction, the first shape comprising a plurality of anode fingers that protrude in the positive x direction and alternate with a plurality of anode gaps, the anode having first and second holes indented into respective positive and negative z ends of the anode;
• and
• a cathode formed into a second shape of uniform cross-section along the z direction, the second shape comprising a plurality of cathode fingers that protrude in the negative x direction and alternate with a plurality of cathode gaps, the cathode having third and fourth holes indented into respective positive and negative z ends of the cathode,
• wherein the first and second shapes provide a conformity of one to the other, with the anode fingers being interdigitated with the cathode fingers and separated from the cathode fingers by an insulative anode-to-cathode gap that is entirely filled with an insulator.
