ABSTRACT:
Electrical joint apparatus includes an array of stab connectors each having a pair of spaced contact fingers and an array of receiver connectors each also having a pair of spaced contact fingers arranged in individual lapped relation with respective contact fingers of an associated stab connector. Heat sinks are mounted with suitable insulators between the contact fingers of adjacent stab connectors and also between the contact fingers of each receiver connector. A clamping rod extends freely through aligned apertures in the stab fingers, heat sinks and insulators and through notches in the receiver fingers and the heat sinks mounted therebetween. The compression springs are carried by the rod at each end of the stab connector array. A first cam follower, affixed to one end of the rod and a second cam follower movably supported on the rod are driven in opposite directions by a cam, such as to uniformly compress the springs, and thereby develop equal and oppositely directed forces clamping the lapped fingers in electrical interconnection.
