Patent ID: 8637771

Claim:
A joined pair of electrically conductive elements comprising; a. a first conductive element and a second conductive element, wherein each of said first and second conductive elements comprises an elongated conductor having two ends and a length therebetween, b. wherein said length of said elongated conductors defines a longitudinal axis, and a rectangular cross section perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, said rectangular cross section having a long dimension and a short dimension, c. wherein at least one of said two ends has a formed cross section, said formed cross section having a long dimension, a short dimension, a plane perpendicular to said long dimension, a plane perpendicular to said short dimension, a mateable surface in said plane perpendicular to said long dimension, a mateable surface in said plane perpendicular to said short dimension, and a mateable surface in said rectangular cross section perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, d. such that said formed cross section of said first conductive element forms a three dimensional mated joint to said formed cross section of said second conductive element, and e. wherein said short dimension of said mated joint is equal to said short dimension of said rectangular cross section of each said elongated conductors.
