An alternative approach to designing customizable electrical/electronic interconnects for appliances combines the qualities of multiple off-the-shelf connectors and places them on a single platform, blending pins, blades and varying grades of conductive materials into a single component. The customizable aspect of this connector is made possible by a new manufacturing process that enables engineers to broadly select materials, plating, and the quantity of pins and blades in connectors used in residential and commercial appliances, HVAC systems, medical equipment, and various motorized devices.
