An electrical connection system includes a mounting stud having a base configured for mounting to a conductive surface. One or more one ring-shaped lugs, formed of an electrically conductive material, are configured for being positioned on the mounting stud for surrounding the mounting stud. The ring-shaped lug includes one or a plurality of interior channels extending around the inside diameter thereof. A contact spring is seated within a respective interior channel and is electrically conductive and dimensioned to extend radially inwardly from the channel and contact the mounting stud when the ring-shaped lug is positioned thereon. The contact spring is configured to at least partially collapse in the radial direction and to provide a spring bias against the mounting stud for providing an electrical connection between the ring-shaped lug and mounting stud. A locking cap is positioned on the mounting stud over the at least one ring-shaped lug for locking with the mounting stud and securing the ring-shaped lugs on the mounting stud for a secure electrical connection.

A choke comprising a core and a first power conductor, wherein the first power conductor comprises a first coil winding, having at least one complete turn about the core, characterized that at least one of the least one turns of the first coil winding comprises a rigid first busbar member and a rigid second busbar member.

A through roof connector assembly for connecting an air termination conductor to a conducting rod through a roof of a structure while limiting water ingress into the roof. The through roof connector assembly includes a universal top, a threaded stud, a conduit connection component with an upper threaded tap hole and a lower threaded tap hole which do not meet to provide a completely weatherproof connection, and a conduit extending through a roof membrane when installed in the roof. The conduit has within a conducting rod, the conducting rod threaded the lower threaded tap hole of the conduit connection component. The air terminal also threads into the threaded stud. An o-ring is located between the conduit connection component and the conduit to provide a further weatherproof connection.

A terminal includes: a flat surface portion; an extending portion continuous with the flat surface portion; a branch portion continuous with the extending portion and extending in a direction different from that in which the extending portion extends; and rotation stop portions continuous with the branch portion. When the terminal is attached to a bolt protruding from a fixing member and including a seat separated from the fixing member, the flat surface portion contacts the seat, the rotation stop portions extend from the branch portion toward a base end of the bolt in a protruding direction of the bolt, and at least a pair of the rotation stop portions are positioned to sandwich the seat in a direction intersecting the protruding direction to prevent rotation of the terminal with respect to the bolt.

A break-off bolt for securing a conductor within a connector includes a first thread section, a second thread section and a torque-limiting section arranged between the first thread section and the second thread section. The first thread section and the second thread section comprise the same external thread having a minor diameter. The torque-limiting section has at least one of no thread with an outer diameter larger than the minor diameter of the external thread or an external thread having a minor diameter larger than the minor diameter of the external thread of the first and second thread sections.

A terminal includes: a flat surface portion; an extending portion continuous with the flat surface portion; a branch portion continuous with the extending portion and extending in a direction different from that in which the extending portion extends; and rotation stop portions continuous with the branch portion. When the terminal is attached to a bolt protruding from a fixing member and including a seat separated from the fixing member, the flat surface portion contacts the seat, the rotation stop portions extend from the branch portion toward a base end of the bolt in a protruding direction of the bolt, and at least a pair of the rotation stop portions are positioned to sandwich the seat in a direction intersecting the protruding direction to prevent rotation of the terminal with respect to the bolt.

An electrical safety system is provided that includes a conductive coupler, for coupling the electrical safety system to a conductive element and be cast into concrete or similar material with the conductive element; and a housing, coupled to the conductive coupler, configured to be at least partially cast into the concrete or similar material to provide external access to the conductive coupler and thereby the conductive element. A length of the housing is adjustable after being cast into the concrete or similar material to enable the housing to sit flush with a finished surface of or associated with the concrete.

A fastener for connecting an electrical conductor to a connector body includes a first portion adapted to engage an opening of the connector body and a second portion engaging the first portion. The second portion includes a head, a base coupled to the first portion and including an end adapted to engage the electrical conductor, and a shearable section positioned between the head and the base.

The invention relates to a fastening screw, comprising an electrically insulating insulating body and a metal body formed from a metal and having an external thread. The metal body is fastened on the insulating body and has a first axial end and a second axial end opposite the first axial end, wherein the first axial end is remote from a screw head of the fastening screw. It is provided that the insulating body, by means of a shaft portion, emerges from the first axial end of the metal body along the longitudinal axis (L) of the metal body.

Conductively coated fastening systems are disclosed herein. An apparatus includes a fastening system and a structural assembly. The structural assembly comprises a first structural element made of an electrically conductive fiber reinforced plastic and a second structural element. The first structural element comprises a first hole and the second structural element comprises a second hole. The first and second holes are separately pre-formed prior to assembly of the structural assembly. The structural assembly further comprises an electrically conductive gap filler applied to a first structural element sidewall of the first hole of the first structural element. The fastening system comprises a fastener comprising a head and a shank extending from the head. The shank is configured to be inserted into the first hole and the second hole.
