Abstract: A quick release mounting assembly or connector assembly for connecting a wire feeder to a robotic welding system is disclosed. The connector assembly includes an adapter plate configured to mount to a robotic welder of the robotic welding system, a feeder plate configured to couple to a wire feeder of the robotic welding system, and a clamping plate mounted to the adapter plate and configured to clamp the feeder plate to the adapter plate. The feeder plate can be positioned and clamped in place by the clamping plate when the clamping plate is at least partially disposed within a clamping zone.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed. The electrical connector includes a multi-diameter power pin having a proximal portion having a first diameter; an engagement portion having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter; a bearing portion having a third diameter smaller than the second diameter; and a threaded distal portion having a fourth diameter smaller than the third diameter. A receiving block having a multi-diameter through hole is configured to receive the multi-diameter power pin. The receiving block includes a plurality of gaps extending radially from the multi-diameter through hole to an outer surface of the receiving block, a receiving portion disposed between a lateral surface of the receiving block and a first gap of the plurality of gaps; and a clamping portion disposed between the plurality of gaps.
