Abstract
A retainer clip assembly includes a first retainer clip and a second retainer clip that, when attached to the first retainer clip, defines a first aperture and a second aperture with an opening therebetween. The opening between the first and second apertures provides thermal communication between first and second elongate elements, for example an electrical bus bar and a coolant conduit providing a heat sink for the bus bar, when they are secured within the first and second apertures.
