HEAT REDUCING TERMINALS INCLUDING A SURFACE HAVING PROTRUSIONS AND ELECTRICAL SWITCHING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME

A terminal (12; 44) includes a fastener (24; 56); a conductor member (14; 46) having a plurality of protrusions (16; 48) on a surface thereof facing the fastener; and a collar member (22; 54). The collar member includes first (20; 52), second (28; 60), third (30; 62) and fourth (36; 68) surfaces, a...

Zusammenfassung:A terminal (12; 44) includes a fastener (24; 56); a conductor member (14; 46) having a plurality of protrusions (16; 48) on a surface thereof facing the fastener; and a collar member (22; 54). The collar member includes first (20; 52), second (28; 60), third (30; 62) and fourth (36; 68) surfaces, a tapped opening (18; 50) on the first surface engaging the fastener, and a conduit (26; 58) between the second and third surfaces. The tapped opening intersects and coincides with the conduit and is normal thereto. The fourth surface is opposite the first surface and contains another opening (34; 66) that intersects and coincides with the conduit. The other opening receives the conductor member. The protrusions and the surface of the conductor member are structured to engage a stranded conductor (32; 64) having a plurality of individual solid conductors. The fastener is structured to engage the stranded conductor.
