  • Electrical system and matrix assembly therefor
    Patent number: 8514552
    Abstract: A matrix assembly is provided for an electrical system such as, for example, a power distribution unit for an aircraft. The electrical system includes an enclosure and a number of current carrying components such as, for example, electrical bus members, electrical switching apparatus, and/or fuses. The matrix assembly includes a matrix member having a generally planar portion, a plurality of attachment points for attaching the current carrying components to the generally planar portion, and a plurality of mounting points for attaching the generally planar portion to a thermally conductive structure such as, for example, an aluminum airframe structure. The matrix member is a thermally conductive liquid crystalline polymer.
