A conductor shielding termination assembly can include a housing tube defining an inner diameter housing channel therethrough. The housing tube can be made of conductive material. The assembly can include a shoulder bushing configured to insert within the inner diameter housing channel of the housing tube. The shoulder bushing can define an inner diameter bushing channel sized to receive an unshielded portion of a conductor. The assembly can include a clamping assembly configured to clamp around the housing tube and/or the conductor to axially lock the housing tube and the conductor and to trap a shielding termination between the housing tube and the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly can form a clamping inner diameter channel sized to receive a shielded portion of the conductor.

Electrical shielding termination systems

A circuit mounting assembly can include a circuit board, a chassis, a sheet of thermally conductive dielectric material, and one or more fasteners configured to compress the sheet between the circuit board and the chassis to provide vibration isolation and electrical isolation between the chassis and the circuit board, and to provide thermal conduction between the chassis and the circuit board.

Circuit mounting assemblies

A conductor shielding termination assembly can include a housing tube defining an inner diameter housing channel therethrough and having housing threads on an outer diameter thereof. The housing tube can be made of conductive material. The assembly can include a shoulder bushing configured to insert within the inner diameter housing channel of the housing tube. The shoulder bushing can define an inner diameter bushing channel sized to receive an unshielded portion of a conductor. The assembly can include a jam nut comprising a nut inner diameter channel sized to receive a shielded portion of the conductor and nut threads on an inner diameter thereof configured to mesh with the housing threads. The jam nut and housing tube can be configured to trap a shielding termination within the meshed housing threads and jam nut threads.

A power feeder device can include a base having a mounting portion and a plurality of connector structures extending from the mounting portion and spaced apart relative to each other to form a respective gap therebetween. Each connector structure can be configured to receive a respective pair of terminals to electrically connect the respective pair of terminals within connector structures and to block a line of sight between an adjacent pair of terminals. The device can also include a cover configured to mate with the base to enclose each of the plurality of connector structures and to increase a length of a creepage path between each pair of terminals by at least partially inserting into each gap between the connector structures. The base and the cover can be configured to form a terminal opening on each lateral side when assembled to allow pass-through of a conductor and/or portion of each terminal.

A connector for an electrical assembly includes an electrically conductive connector tab extending from a first electrical component, and a spring element wrapped around the connector tab. An electrically conductive connector slot is located at a second electrical component. The connector tab is configured for insertion into the connector slot such that the spring element is compressed between the connector tab and the connector slot defining an electrically conductive path between the connector tab and the connector slot.

A fuse includes a housing. A bus bar extends through the housing. An arc interrupter positioned inside the housing. A biasing element is compressed between the housing and the arc interrupter to bias the arc interrupter toward the bus bar to separate two portions of the bus bar during circuit interruption to mitigate arcing from one portion of the bus bar to the other portion of the bus bar. The bus bar includes a pocket defined therein wherein the bus bar is of a first material, and wherein a second material is seated within the pocket. In another aspect, a fuse includes a fuse housing and a bus bar extending through the housing. The bus bar includes a pocket defined therein. The bus bar is of a first material, wherein a second material is seated within the pocket.

A power panel for an electrical system includes a chassis having chassis slots for power modules, a bus body coupled to the chassis to connect the power panel to a power source, and first and second module connectors. The first and second module connectors are fixed relative to the bus body to connect the power modules to the bus body. The second module connector is movable relative to the first module connector to accommodate position of the power modules in the chassis slots. Electrical cabinets, power panels, and methods of seating power modules in power panels are also described.

Load connectors for power panel assemblies

A bussing connector is provided and includes bus bar connections, output elements and dielectric material. The bus bar connections each include an output section and an input section. The input sections cooperatively form a multiphase alternating current (AC) input. The output elements are arranged along and in electrical communication with the output sections of each of the bus bar connections. The dielectric material is configured to partially surround and partially electrically insulate the input and output sections and the output elements of each of the bus bar connections. The dielectric material is further configured to expose the multiphase AC input and portions of each of the outlet elements of each of the bus bar connections.

Alternating current bussing connector

A bus bar for a printed wiring board assembly has a distribution portion and a supply portion. The supply portion has a socket contact that is in electrical communication with the distribution portion without an intervening joint portion to limit electrical resistance between a supply plug seated in the socket contact and the distribution portion of the bus bar. Printed wiring board assemblies, power distribution assemblies, and methods of making printed distribution assemblies are also described.
