Publication number: 20140162161Abstract: An electrical connection system for cell voltage monitoring in a fuel cell stack. A fuel cell stack assembly comprises a plurality of fuel cells disposed in a stacked configuration, each cell substantially parallel to an x-y plane and including an electrical tab extending laterally from an edge of a plate in the cell in the x-direction to form an array of tabs extending along a side face of the fuel cell stack in a z-direction orthogonal to the x-y plane. A connector device comprises a planar member having a plurality of spaced-apart slits formed in an edge of the planar member, each slit having an electrically conductive material on an inside face of the slit. The slits are spaced along the edge of the planar member and configured to receive the tabs by sliding engagement in the y-direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2011Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: Intelligent Energy Ltd.Inventor: Peter David Hood

Patent number: 6875061Abstract: An electrical clip connector has a terminal clip which is electrically mated to a ground stud by hand. The terminal clip is protected by an erogonomically friendly housing which supports the functional requirements of the terminal clip. The housing has a hoop portion which defines a through hole orientated concentrically to a bore defined by a resilient barrel segment of the terminal clip. Communicating transversely with the rough hole is a channel carried by a first portion of the housing which encases a first arm of the terminal clip engaged to a circumferential first end of the barrel segment. A second or activation arm of the terminal clip extends from an opposite end of the barrel segment and crosses over the first arm so that compression of the arms toward one-another causes the loop segment to enlarge for receipt of the ground stud. The second arm is encased by a second portion of the housing which is preferably hinged to the first portion near the hoop portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2004Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James D. Daugherty, Thomas M. Nadasky

Publication number: 20010031585Abstract: A metal terminal (20) includes an post winding-around portion (23) which is connectable to an electrode post (2) to clasp from an outer side thereof. When a lock lever (25) is pressed down to a locking position, a clasp by the post winding-around portion (23) with respect to the electrode post (2) is set in a locked state. An insulating protective cover (30) is attachable to the metal terminal (20) so as to cover at least an entire connecting portion of the metal terminal (20), connected to the electrode post (2), when a distal end portion of the protective cover (30) is pressed down, while using as a fulcrum a proximal end portion of the protective cover (30) abutted against the post winding-around portion (23), and while causing the lock lever (25) to follow the protective cover (30) so that the lock lever (25) is pressed down to the locking position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2001Publication date: October 18, 2001Inventors: Takao Murakami, Masaru Fukuda
