Electrically conductive, thermally insulating cryogenic current leads

Abstract

An electrically conductive, thermally insulating current lead assembly has been developed for cryogenic systems. This lead assembly consists of thick film elements of high temperature superconductive materials deposited onto a low thermal conductivity substrate. The superconductor elements provide current transport but minimize heat transfer. The substrate provides the mechanical durability necessary for cryogenic and other environments.
