Electrical contact terminal - used in high voltage electro-metallurgy and electrolysis where electrical continuity is difficult to maintain

Abstract

Abstract An electrical contact terminal consists of two flange pieces made of conducting material connected by a sleeve made of elastic material, and filled with fluid conducting material. The ends of the flanges within the sleeves are convex, or one is convex and the other is concave. One of the flanges has provision for fixing it to a conductor, e.g. a threaded hold and a screw. Used partic. for high voltage appicns., e.g. in electrometallurgy, where heating of the terminals may occur. The terminal can oscillate and has a partic. interesting applicn. in electrolysis appts. where it is difficult to ensure electrical continuity.
