Power interconnect system for electronic assemblies

A method of interconnecting a source of electric power to a remote electrical conductor element in an electronic assembly, comprising the steps of:

• providing a source of electrical power including a threaded member;
• providing a remote electrical conductor element;
• providing at least one power coupling connector elements, said at least one power coupling connector element including a conductive first end and an insulative second end, said conductive first end including a diameter larger than said insulative second end, said at least one power coupling connector element also including a threaded region integral to said at least one power coupling connector element, and extending from said conductive first end towards said insulative second end;
• providing an electrically insulative member including at least one cylindrical cavity into which has been inserted said at least one power coupling connector element;
• positioning said remote electrical conductor element between said source of electrical power and said at least one power coupling cavity of said connector element disposed in said cylindrical electrically insulative member;
• and
• engaging said threaded member of said source of electrical power with said threaded region of said at least one power coupling connector element.

A power interconnect system for electronic assemblies comprising:

• a source of electrical power;
• at least one power coupling connector element, coupled to said source of electrical power;
• at least one remote electrical conductor element including a power bus bar, electrically coupled to said source of electrical power by said at least one power coupling connector element, for conducting electrical power to a location remote from said source of electrical power;
• and
• an electrically insulative member, coupled to said at least one remote electrical conductor element, and in which is captively mounted said at least one power coupling connector element.
