Abstract
An electrical system includes a bus bar having a plurality of layers including a conductive power layer and a conductive ground layer. The bus bar has a front edge with a plurality of tabs extending therefrom at spaced-apart locations. Each tab includes a power finger extending from the power layer and a ground finger extending from the ground layer. The bus bar also includes a connector shroud coupled to the front edge of the bus bar. The connector shroud has a base, a mating end, and a cavity defined therebetween. The cavity receives one of the tabs through the base. The mating end is configured to mate with an electrical connector. The cavity is configured to receive power and ground contacts of the electrical connector therein for electrical connection to the respective power and ground fingers of the tab.
