Abstract

See full text

An electromechanical connector is disclosed that may include a body portion and a threaded bolt. The body portion is made of an electrically conductive material and includes a flange and a deformable portion configured to bulge outwardly when the body portion is positioned in an opening in a wall-like structure and non-removably coupled, in a rivet-like manner, to the structure. The flange and the deformable portion secure the body portion to the wall-like structure. The body portion has a threaded bore, a first tab extending from a first end of the body portion, and a second tab extending from a second end of the body portion. The first tab, the body portion and the second tab form an electrically conductive path through the connector. The threaded bolt is threadably inserted into the threaded bore of the body portion and secures an independent component to the wall-like structure using the electromechanical connector.
