Abstract: A method of making an electrical terminal in a metal capacitor housing. The terminal includes a metal disc on which a metal pin is eccentrically formed. By means of the pin, a part of an insulating foil inserted between the terminal and the housing is pressed through a hole in the housing, after which the pin is riveted. The foil is removed from the end of the pin, whereby a capacitor electrode can be welded to the pin.

Abstract: An electrical bushing for a distribution transformer characterized by a pair of tubular insulating members having oppositely disposed facing surfaces engageable with opposite sides of a transformer housing wall, a conductor extending through the members and having first and second planar terminal surfaces, the conductor having an outturned flange near the first planar terminal surface which flange is engageable with one of the tubular insulating members, the conductor also having a threaded portion adjacent the second planar terminal surface, a nut engageable on the threaded portion and abuttable with the end of the other tubular insulating member, and the nut comprising aperture means including a threaded portion engageable with said threaded segment and comprising a slot portion extending outwardly from the threaded portion and adapted to enable passing of the second planar terminal surface therethrough.

Abstract: An electrical bushing characterized by a cup-shaped ceramic shell and a conductor extending longitudinally therethrough. A non-porous epoxy resin occupies the shell and adheres to the conductor. The conductor and the epoxy resin have corresponding coefficients of thermal expansion.
