Abstract
An isolated electrical connection assembly having first and second conductive terminals of different conductive materials with a non-metallic, annular spacer sandwiched between opposing inner end faces of the terminals. The first terminal having a bore extending inwards from its inner end face, and a pin projects from the opposing inner end face of the second terminal, through a central opening in the spacer, and into the bore. The pin is releasably secured in the bore to provide electrical connection between the terminals. The interfaces between the inner end faces of the terminals and opposing faces of the spacer are sealed to isolate the connection between the second terminal pin and the first terminal bore.
