Abstract
An electrical bus bar assembly includes an elongate flexible electrical conductor formed from a strip of electrically conductive material having a distal portion that defines two parallel tabs extending from the conductor, and an electrical terminal having two different parallel sides received between the tabs. The tabs flex to resiliently retain the terminal, providing a low-resistance electrical interface and accommodating terminals of varying thicknesses. This arrangement enables simplified assembly and reliable electrical connections in compact power distribution systems.
