Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A conductive contact structure for two conductors, comprising: a first conductor having at least one planar portion; a second conductor having at least one planar portion, said planar portions of said first and second conductors being conductively brought into contact with each other under pressure; and a grease-like insulating material which is high in thermal conductivity and applied to one of said planar portions of said first and second conductors; wherein one of said planar portions of said first and said second conductors is divided into a pair of first planar regions and a second planar region by at least two grooves, the second planar region being placed between the pair of first planar regions and being uninterrupted by grooves, said grease-like insulating material being applied only to said pair of first planar regions and no grease-like insulating material being applied to said second planar region.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
A conductive contact structure for two conductors, comprising: a first conductor having at least one planar portion; a second conductor having at least one planar portion, said planar portions of said first and second conductors being conductively brought into contact with each other under pressure; and a grease-like insulating material which is high in thermal conductivity and applied to one of said planar portions of said first and second conductors; wherein one of said planar portions of said first and said second conductors is divided into a pair of first planar regions and a second planar region by at least two grooves, the second planar region being placed between the pair of first planar regions and being uninterrupted by grooves, said grease-like insulating material being applied only to said pair of first planar regions and no grease-like insulating material being applied to said second planar region.
