Patent ID: 8283820

Claim:
A joint for joining a first electrical conductor to a second electrical conductor, the joint comprising an assembly member, an adapting member, an indentation of a surface, an elastically deformable multipoint connection member, and an assembly structure, the assembly member being electrically conductive and comprising at least a first seat and a fastening structure forming part of the assembly structure, the adapting member comprising a first portion being attachable to the first seat and a second portion being attachable to an end portion of the first electrical conductor, the first portion comprising a compliant structure forming part of the assembly structure and being cooperative with the fastening structure to facilitate fixing of the adapting member to the assembly member, the adapting member having an elongated body with an end face, the surface indentation being a characteristic of at least one of: a surface of the assembly member and the end face of the adapting member, and the elastically deformable multipoint connection member being arrangeable in the surface indentation and is between the assembly member and the end face of the adapting member to form a plurality of connection points with electrical conductivity between the adapting member and the assembly member, wherein both thermal and electrical conductivity is provided between the assembly member and the adapting member via direct contact between the assembly member and the adapting member, through the elastically deformable multipoint connection member, and via the assembly structure.
