Abstract
A busbar system comprises an electrically conductive busbar having multiple ridges that project from a first side of the busbar. Each ridge defines a channel having an opening on a second side of the busbar. Interior facing surfaces of each ridge that define the channel are substantially smooth and/or free of protrusions or teeth prior to the ridge being externally crimped. The busbar system further comprises multiple electrically conductive electrical contacts having a substantially broad and thin configuration, wherein one or more of the electrical contacts are secured within each channel of the busbar by the ridge being externally crimped by a tool having surfaces that include one or more protrusions.
