Abstract
A busbar assembly for electrical connectors is characterized by a busbar element having a planar surface containing an opening and a connecting pin inseparably connected with said busbar element by inserting one end of the pin into the opening in a snug-fit manner with the pin extending perpendicular to the planar surface. The opening is preferably located in the middle of the planar surface, thereby eliminating the need for punch-outs on the busbar element. The element further has large support surfaces on opposite sides of the opening which distribute and absorb the forces generated during insertion of the pin into a printed circuit board.
