Abstract:
1. An electrical connection, comprising: an electrically conductive first contact member that includes a first contact surface for passing current; an electrically conductive second contact member that includes a second contact surface for passing current, wherein the second contact surface directly contacts the first contact surface; an interface including one of a cold weld and a fused section that physically joins the first contact member and the second contact member and forms a primary conductive path between the first contact member and the second contact member, wherein the interface is formed by ultrasonic vibration of the first contact surface relative to the second contact surface; and a mechanical attachment separate from the interface that mechanically joins the first contact member and the second contact member, wherein the first contact member, the second contact member, the interface, and the mechanical attachment together form the electrical connection, wherein the electrical connection is serviceable and capable of being disassembled and reassembled without causing any damage that would prevent reuse of the electrical connection.
