  • Corrosion resistant connection system
    Patent number: 7128017
    Abstract: A corrosion resistant connection system including a base structure, a threaded orifice in the base structure, a seal about the threaded orifice and a threaded stud with a distal end, a proximal end, and an intermediate shoulder defining a sealing surface opposing a support surface. The distal end of the threaded stud is received in the orifice of the base structure driving the sealing surface of the shoulder to engage the seal to prevent corrosion of the threaded orifice, while maintaining electrical continuity. A terminal is disposed about the proximal end of the threaded stud seated on the support surface of the shoulder. A threaded nut is disposed about the proximal end of the stud engaging the terminal.
