Abstract
A low resistance electrical connecting assembly, each assembly including a plurality of operably arranged conductive elements, each element comprising a pair of relatively narrow, thin, outwardly convex, conducting contact surfaces supported on opposite sides of a latitudinal plane between them. The outwardly convex contact surfaces of each element are conductively associated to provide parallel current paths between source-side and load-side conductors in contact respectivley with opposite ones of said conductive surfaces of each element. Such elements may be embodied in the form of a helical coil of conductive wire, each ring of the coil constituting one element. Another embodiment may be individual disks of conductive metal arranged in stacking relationship. Any number of other embodiments are possible which provide a plurality of elements as described, thin, outwardly convex conductive surfaces on opposite sides of a latitudinal plane, in closely adjacent side by side arrangement.
