Abstract
An electrical interconnection comprises a first magnetic conductor and a second magnetic conductor. The second magnetic conductor is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic conductor to establish an electrical conductive path between the first and second magnetic conductors.
Claims16
An electrical interconnection comprising:
- a first electrically conductive wire braid;
- a first magnet disposed within the first electrically conductive wire braid;
- a second electrically conductive wire braid;
- and
- a second magnet disposed within the second electrically conductive wire braid, the second magnet magnetically attracted to the first magnet to establish an electrical conductive path between the first electrically conductive wire braid and the second electrically conductive wire braid.
2 more elements
A system for providing an electrical connection comprising:
- a first flexible conductive element having a first free end with a first sidewall;
- a second flexible conductive element having second free end with a second sidewall;
- and
- first and second magnetic elements embedded in the first and second flexible conductive elements adjacent the first and second sidewalls, respectively, for producing a magnetic attraction to magnetically couple the first sidewall of the first flexible conductive element to the second sidewall of the second flexible conductive element to form an electrical connection between the first and second flexible conductive members.
