  • Patent number: 11804664
    Abstract: A high-current cable connector comprises two metal parts and a interlocking member. The interlocking member moves the metal parts outward so that two abutting surfaces per metal part are pressed together. The alignment of the abutting surfaces causes two other surfaces per metal part, the contact surfaces, to also be pressed together and the cable connector is locked. This results in an easy-to-assemble cable connector with low contact resistance and high thermal capacity.
