An electrical assembly may include a contactor, a bus bar connected to the contactor, a bracket connected to the bus bar, a flexible circuit electrically connected to the contactor, and/or a cooling member connected to the bracket. A method of assembling an electrical assembly may include disposing a flexible circuit at least partially on and/or in the bracket, connecting a bus bar with the one or more contactors, connecting the bus bar with the bracket, electrically connecting the flexible circuit to the one or more contactors, disposing a cooling member on or about the bracket, and/or connecting the cooling member with the bracket.

An electrical contactor assembly includes an electrical contactor, a post in electrical communication with the electrical contactor, an insulator body, and a heat sink. The insulator body is in intimate mechanical contact with the post. The heat sink is in intimate mechanical contact with the insulator body and is in thermal communication with the electrical contactor through the post and the insulator body such that heat flowing between contactor and the heat sink flows through the post and the insulator body.

An electromagnetic relay device includes a mover, a plunger, and a solenoid unit that causes the plunger to reciprocate. The mover includes a movable contact movable to abut onto or separate from a stationary contact. The plunger causes the mover to reciprocate to accordingly cause the movable contact to abut onto or separate from the stationary contact. A heat-resistant member is interposed between the insulator and the mover. The plunger enables indirect abutment onto the mover through the insulator and the heat-resistant member. A heat-resistant temperature of the heat-resistant member is set to be higher than that of the insulator.

A relay includes a housing, a fixed terminal, a screw receiving member, and at least one female screw member. The fixed terminal has a plate shape. The fixed terminal includes a fastening portion having at least one screw insertion hole. The fastening portion is exposed from the housing to an outside and is screwed to an external terminal. The screw receiving member overlaps with the fastening portion in a penetrating direction of the at least one screw insertion hole and is provided in proximity to the fastening portion. The at least one female screw member is provided integrally with or separately from the screw receiving member and is prevented from rotating by the screw receiving member.

A cooling device for use with circuit interrupters includes a housing structured to be coupled to a terminal of the circuit interrupter and formed with several ventilation openings, as well as a permanent magnet, a torque converter and a fan blade all contained within the housing. When the cooling device is coupled to a terminal of a circuit interrupter and current flows through the terminals of the circuit interrupter, parasitic magnetic fields are generated and induce oscillatory motion of the permanent magnet. The torque converter is coupled to the permanent magnet and converts the oscillatory motion of the magnet to rotational motion that rotates the fan blade. The fan blade is disposed near the ventilation openings of the housing so that air flow produced by rotation of the fan blade travels across the surface of the circuit interrupter terminal nearest the ventilation openings to increase convection.

An electrical assembly may include a first contactor, a second contactor, a bus bar assembly electrically connected to the first contactor and the second contactor, a cooling member, a bracket configured to connect the cooling member to the first contactor and the second contactor, and/or potting material that may be disposed at least partially between the bus bar assembly and the cooling member. A method of assembling an electrical assembly may include disposing the first contactor and the second contactor on a fixture, connecting the bus bar assembly to the first contactor and the second contactor, connecting the bracket to the bus bar assembly, the first contactor, and/or the second contactor, connecting the cooling member to the bracket, and/or providing the potting material between the bus bar assembly and the cooling member.

Provided is a circuit structure with a new structure that can improve a heat dissipation efficiency of a heat generating component while having resistance to a reaction force of a thermally conductive member. Provided is a circuit structure including: a heat generating component; bus bars that are connected to connection portions of the heat-generating component; cases that accommodate the heat-generating component and the bus bars; an elastic thermally conductive member that comes into thermal contact with the bus bars; a pressing portion that is provided on the cases and brings the bus bars into contact with the thermally conductive member; and a reinforcing wall portion that protrudes outside of the cases and reinforces the pressing portion.
