Abstract
An interface device for coupling an electrical device to a metal junction includes a conformable conductor plate having a first side and a second side. The interface device also includes a plurality of first channels that intersect with a plurality of second channels formed on at least one of the first side and the second side. The formation of the first channels and the second channels weaken the conductor plate. A plurality of protrusions is formed by the intersection of the first channels and the second channels. The protrusions are deformable by coupling the conformable plate between the electrical device and the metal junction. An elongated slot formed throughout at least a portion of the interface device.
