(under the class definition) Electrical connector combined with a conductor to provide for passage of electrical current in addition to that provided by another conductor, wherein the conductor is not to function to prevent radiation of undesirable electrical energy therethrough.
(1) Note. The device of this subclass may, for example, serve as a conductor (a) providing a passageway for electrical current in addition to another conductor, thereby reducing the overall impedance to flow; or (b) bridging a section of another conductor to allow repair of that section without removal of the section and with no break in current flow.

514, for similar structure including an electrical contact at each end of the conductor.
