ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes first and second conducting members that are pivotally attached to each other. A portion of the first and second conducting members distal to the pivotal attachment form an electrical contact with the electrode. The first and second conducting member, when operable connected to electric power source, provide parallel current paths for an electric current form the power source to the electrode. Further, the first and second conducting members are configured to provide additional forces at the contact with the electrode in response to magnetic field effects of the current flow Lorentz force), the additional forces having at least a predetermine value when a value of the electric current has a preselected value. For example, the predetermined value of the additional forces may be determined, using known properties of electrical contacts, so as to ensure that the contact does not fail when the current reaches the preselected value.
