Patent number: 12512632Abstract: An electrical conductor assembly includes a planar first conductor, a planar second conductor overlaying the first conductor, and a first electrically insulative layer between the first and second conductors. The first electrically insulative layer and the first conductor define a first aperture though which a portion of the second conductor is exposed. A process of forming the electrical conductor assembly is also contained herein.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2023Date of Patent: December 30, 2025Assignee: Aptiv Technologies AGInventors: Andrew Bohan, David R Peterson, Joseph Sudik, Jr., Nicholas A.

Publication number: 20250385475Abstract: An electrical busbar connector includes an electrically insulative connector housing with a cavity designed to accommodate an electrical busbar made of a first electrically conductive material and an electrical terminal attached to the busbar, which is composed of a second electrically conductive material distinct from the first. The connector further comprises a busbar seal that ensures a secure seal between the busbar and the connector housing, thereby enhancing the integrity and reliability of the electrical connection. This configuration allows for effective insulation and protection of the busbar and terminal, facilitating efficient electrical connectivity while minimizing potential for electrical faults or environmental contaminant ingress.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2025Publication date: December 18, 2025Inventors: Nicholas Durse, Nathan Hando, Andrew Bohan, Pawel Lesniak, Mateusz Daniec

Patent number: 12435818Abstract: A retainer clip assembly includes a first retainer clip and a second retainer clip that, when attached to the first retainer clip, defines a first aperture and a second aperture with an opening therebetween. The opening between the first and second apertures provides thermal communication between first and second elongate elements, for example an electrical bus bar and a coolant conduit providing a heat sink for the bus bar, when they are secured within the first and second apertures.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2022Date of Patent: October 7, 2025Assignee: Aptiv Technologies AGInventors: Marissa Maury, Wyatt Lipinsky, Andrew Bohan, David Peterson

Patent number: 12237658Abstract: A bus bar assembly includes a bus bar formed of a first electrically conductive material having a planar contact portion. The bus bar defines a first bore extending through the contact portion. The bus bar assembly further includes a contact insert formed of a second electrically conductive material that has a greater hardness than the first electrically conductive material. The contact insert defines a first surface that is mechanically and electrically connected to the contact portion of the bus bar. The contact insert defines a second surface this is plated with a third electrically conductive material which is different than the second electrically conductive material. The contact insert defines a smooth second bore coaxial with the first bore and extending from the first surface to the second surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Aptiv Technologies AGInventors: Nicholas A. Durse, Andrew Bohan, Jacob Martin, Jonathan Weidner

Publication number: 20240047929Abstract: An electrical assembly includes an electrical conductor having a planar portion and defining a bore hole extending through the planar portion and an electrical contact having a tubular portion disposed within the bore hole and a plurality of contact petals extending radially from the tubular portion. The plurality of contact petals are in electrical contact with the electrical conductor. A method of producing such an electrical assembly is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: David R. Peterson, Jonathan David Weidner, Andrew Bohan, Jeff Janis, George Drew, Nicholas A. Durse, Jacob Martin
