Abstract
The disclosure concerns an electrical contact for conducting high current densities in a minimum space at acceptable operating temperatures and lower contact resistance than conventional slotted contacts of equivalent size. The contact pin is formed in a series of cascaded extensions and the contact receptacle contains respective sections each threaded or otherwise joined within the other. The external receptacle section and the cascaded pin are made of oxygen-free copper for maximum conductivity.
