Electrical terminal for coupling to conductive structures
The patent US12034236B2 describes an innovative electrical terminal designed for effective coupling with conductive structures. The terminal features a body that includes a wire receiving portion for conductor insertion, a cup portion that is electrically connected to the wire receiving section, and a boss portion that extends from the cup. This boss portion has a planar surface intended for direct contact with the conductive structure. A key aspect of the design is an aperture that runs through both the cup and boss portions, allowing for the reception of a post from the conductive structure. The terminal is further enhanced by an overmold structure made of insulation material, which covers the sides of the cup portion while ensuring that the boss portion remains free from insulation to maintain electrical conductivity. An insulative cap is also included to seal the cup structure around the post.
Additionally, the patent outlines various features that enhance the functionality and security of the electrical terminal. These include a connecting portion that links the wire receiving and cup portions, a fastener designed to engage the post and secure the boss against the conductive structure, and complementary structures on the cup portion and insulative cap for secure engagement. The overmold structure can be formed from a range of insulation materials, including fluorocarbon materials, PVC, and silicone, among others. The design also allows for the fastener to fit within the cup portion and engage with threaded posts, ensuring a robust connection. Overall, the electrical terminal and its associated grounding or power system present a comprehensive solution for reliable electrical connections in various applications.
