Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to metallic structure with desired combinations of mechanical and electrical characteristics formed of a higher electrical conductivity element with a mechanically stronger element.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electrical terminal comprising a metallic structure having a desired combination of mechanical and electrical characteristics, the metallic structure comprising a mechanically strong element and an electrically conductive element, the electrically conductive element positioned in a contact zone of the terminal, the electrically conductive element having a first composite layer and a second composite layer, the first composite layer having a first coating and the second composite layer having a second coating, a thickness of the first composite layer dimensioned to prevent skin effect in the first composite layer at a desired frequency, the first composite layer and the second composite layer are stacked together so that the first coating abuts the second coating. 2. The electrical terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said electrically conductive element is an ultraconductive copper composite. 3. The electrical terminal according to claim 2 , wherein said first composite layer is copper with the first coating of graphene. 4. The electrical terminal according to claim 2 , wherein said second composite layer is copper with the second coating of graphene. 5. The electrical terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said metallic structure is cylindrical. 6. The electrical terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said metallic structure is a power connector for a busbar. 7. The electrical terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said metallic structure is incorporated into an insulation displacing connector. 8. The electrical terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said metallic structure is incorporated into a wire crimp connector. 9. The electrical terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said metallic structure is incorporated into a mechanical screw locking connector. 10. The electrical terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said metallic structure is a heat sink. 11. An electrical terminal comprising a metallic structure having a desired combination of mechanical and electrical characteristics, the metallic structure comprising a first mechanically strong element, a second mechanically strong element and an electrically conductive element between said first mechanically strong element and said second mechanically strong element, the electrically conductive element positioned in a contact zone of the terminal, the electrically conductive element having a first composite layer and a second composite layer, the first composite layer having a first coating and the second composite layer having a second coating, a thickness of the first composite layer dimensioned to prevent skin effect in the first composite layer at a desired frequency, the first composite layer and the second composite layer are stacked together so that the first coating abuts the second coating.
