ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is disclosed for enhancing the thermal emissivity of an electrical connection. An electrical connector, such as a typical C-member and wedge style connector, is provided that is constructed of electrically conductive material and has a surface treatment on the exterior surfaces of the connector that increases emissivity of the connector. Contact surfaces are provided on the connector that are electrically conductive for ensuring electrical continuity within the connector. The surface treatment operates to increase the thermal transfer efficiency within the connector and thereby lower the operating temperature of the connector.
