Joining means for device components

A joining means for thermally insulating and electrically coupling a first component and a second component at a bolted interface, the joining means comprising:

• a joining bolt extending between the first component and the second component and coupling the first component and the second component at the bolted interface;
• a plurality of thermally insulating disc shaped spacers having an opening formed therein and configured in a stacked arrangement between the first component and the second component, wherein the joining bolt is disposed within the opening formed in each of the plurality of thermally insulating disc shaped spacers;
• and
• an electrically conductive bracket having a first end coupled to the joining bolt between the first component and one of the plurality of thermally insulating shaped spacers and a second end coupled to the joining bolt between the second component and one of the plurality of thermally insulating disc shaped spacers, wherein the first end and the second end each include a rounded eyelet for encircling the joining bolt extending between the first component and the second component.
