SPRING-ACTUATED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR HIGH-POWER APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240030639 titled 'SPRING-ACTUATED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR HIGH-POWER APPLICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a spring-actuated electrical connector assembly designed for high-power, high-voltage applications. It consists of a first connector with an internal receiver, side walls, and a contact beam. The contact beam extends outwardly from the side wall and has a free end that extends inwardly. The assembly also includes a second connector with a receptacle to receive the first connector and a spring member. When connected, the spring member exerts an outward force on the contact beam to engage it with the second connector.

  • The assembly is designed for high-power, high-voltage applications.
  • The first connector has an internal receiver, side walls, and a contact beam.
  • The contact beam extends outwardly from the side wall and has a free end that extends inwardly.
  • The second connector has a receptacle to receive the first connector and a spring member.
  • When connected, the spring member exerts an outward force on the contact beam to engage it with the second connector.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Electric vehicle charging systems
  • High-power industrial equipment
  • Power transmission and distribution systems
  • Renewable energy systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures secure electrical and mechanical connection in high-power applications
  • Provides reliable power transfer in high-voltage environments
  • Reduces the risk of accidental disconnection or damage to the connectors

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety and reliability in high-power applications
  • Efficient power transfer with minimal resistance
  • Easy and secure connection and disconnection process
  • Suitable for use in harsh environments with high voltage and power requirements


Original Abstract Submitted

a spring-actuated electrical connector assembly for electrically and mechanically connecting a device to a power source in high-power, high-voltage applications is disclosed. the connector assembly includes a first connector with an internal receiver, a plurality of side walls, and at least one contact beam. the contact beam integrally extends to an outer surface of the side wall and includes a free end that extends inward of the outer surface of the side wall. an internal spring member is dimensioned to reside within the receiver of the first connector. this assembly also includes a second electrically conductive connector with a receptacle dimensioned to receive both the first connector and the spring member to define a connected position during operation of the device. in the connected position, at least one spring arm of the spring member exerts an outwardly directed force on the contact beam of the first connector to outwardly displace the contact beam into engagement with the second connector.
