Conductive connector
A system and apparatus for increasing connectivity of a circuit board comprising a connector, wherein the connector has a horizontal body and a hollow cylindrical portion extruding vertically from the body; wherein the cylindrical portion is made up of a set of pieces; wherein at least a piece of the set of pieces is arranged to expand horizontally upon insertion of a phalanx head in a vertical manner. A method to increase current connectivity comprising screwing a fastener into threads of a connector through a hollow cylindrical portion of the connector; wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the connector is made up of a set of pieces; wherein the screwing causes a phalanx head to contact the cylindrical portion expanding at least one piece of the set of pieces in a horizontal manner in relation to the fastener.
1. A system to increase current connectivity comprising:
a phalanx head;
a connector, wherein the connector has a horizontal body and a hollow cylindrical portion extruding vertically from the body; wherein the cylindrical portion is made up of a set of pieces; wherein the cylindrical portion has an inner circumference; wherein at least a piece of the set of pieces is arranged to expand horizontally upon insertion of the phalanx head in a vertical manner; wherein at least a first portion of the phalanx head is smaller than the inner circumference of the cylindrical portion and at least a second portion of the phalanx head is larger than the inner circumference of the cylindrical portion; wherein the connector has a hollow threaded portion vertically aligned with the hollow cylindrical portion; and
a fastener with external threads sized to screw into the threaded portion of the connector.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the connector is made of a conductive material.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the connector is made of a malleable material.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the fastener has the phalanx head.
5. The system of claim 1 further comprising a washer with the phalanx head.
6. A method to increase current connectivity comprising;
screwing a fastener into threads of a connector through a hollow cylindrical portion of the connector; wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the connector is made up of a set of pieces; wherein the screwing causes a phalanx head to contact the cylindrical portion expanding at least one piece of the set of pieces in a horizontal manner in relation to the fastener.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the connector is made of a conductive material.
8. The method of claim 6 wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the connector is made of a malleable material.
9. The method of claim 6 wherein the fastener has the phalanx head.
10. The method of claim 6 wherein a washer with the phalanx head is between the fastener and the connector.
11. The system of claim 1 wherein the hollow cylindrical portion is inserted into a conductively plated cutout of a circuit board.
12. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least a piece of the set of pieces is arranged to expand horizontally expands into the conductively plated cutout of the circuit board.
13. The method of claim 6 wherein the hollow cylindrical portion is inserted into a conductively plated cutout of a circuit board.
14. The method of claim 13 wherein the screwing causes at least a piece of the set of pieces to expand horizontally into the conductively plated cutout of the circuit board.
15. An apparatus to increase current connectivity, the apparatus comprising:
a connector, wherein the connector has a horizontal body and a hollow cylindrical portion extruding vertically from the body; wherein the cylindrical portion is made up of a set of pieces; wherein the cylindrical portion has an inner circumference; wherein at least a piece of the set of pieces is arranged to expand horizontally upon insertion of a phalanx head in a vertical manner; wherein at least a first portion of the phalanx head is smaller than the inner circumference of the cylindrical portion and at least a second portion of the phalanx head is larger than the inner circumference of the cylindrical portion; wherein the connector has a hollow threaded portion vertically aligned with the hollow cylindrical portion.
16. The apparatus of claim 15 wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the connector is made of a conductive material.
17. The apparatus of claim 15 wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the connector is made of a malleable material.
18. The apparatus of claim 15 wherein the hollow cylindrical portion is inserted into a conductively plated cutout of a circuit board.
19. The apparatus of claim 15 wherein the at least a piece of the set of pieces is arranged to expand horizontally expands into the conductively plated cutout of the circuit board.
