High current connector

A joint for joining a first electrical conductor to a second electrical conductor, the joint comprising an assembly member, an adapting member, and an assembly structure,

• the assembly member being electrically conductive and comprising at least a first seat and a fastening structure forming part of the assembly structure, and
• the adapting member comprising a first portion being attachable to the first seat and a second portion being attachable to an end portion of the first electrical conductor, the first portion comprising a compliant structure forming part of the assembly structure and being cooperative with the fastening structure to facilitate fixing of the adapting member to the assembly member,
• wherein both thermal and electrical conductivity is provided between the assembly member and the adapting member via direct contact between the assembly member and the adapting member and via the assembly structure, wherein the adapting member forms an end face and a sidewall extending from the end face, the assembly structure being adapted to press the end face against the assembly member.

A joint for joining a first electrical conductor to a second electrical conductor, the joint comprising an adapting member, assembly member, and an assembly structure,

• the assembly member being electrically conductive and comprising a first seat and a fastening structure forming part of the assembly structure, and
• the adapting member having an elongated body with an end face, the adapting member comprising a first conductive portion being attachable to the first seat, the first conductive portion comprising a compliant structure forming part of the assembly structure, the compliant structure being cooperative with the fastening structure to facilitate fixing of the adapting member to the assembly member,
• wherein both thermal and electrical conductivity is provided between the assembly member and the adapting member via (i) direct contact between the assembly member and the adapting member and (ii) via the assembly structure, and wherein the assembly member substantially only contacts the adapting member at the end face.
