Abstract
A busbar assembly contains: an electrical busbar having two end faces, a bottom surface, a top surface, and two side faces connecting the bottom surface and the top surface, and a metallic busbar heatsink having a bottom wall and at least two cooling fins extending from the bottom wall. The cooling fins together with the bottom wall forming a receiving space for receiving the busbar and the busbar is arranged in the receiving space in such a manner that at least one of the two side faces of the busbar is in planar contact with one of the cooling fins.

A busbar assembly, comprising:
- an electrical busbar having two end faces, a bottom surface, a top surface and two side faces connecting said bottom surface and said top surface;
- and
- a metallic busbar heatsink having a bottom wall and at least two cooling fins extending from said bottom wall, said cooling fins together with said bottom wall forming a receiving space for receiving said electrical busbar, and said electrical busbar disposed in said receiving space such that at least one of said two side faces of said electrical busbar is in planar contact with one of said cooling fins.
A circuit assembly, comprising:
- a first electrical component having a first electrical connection point;
- a second electrical component having a second electrical connection point;
- and
- a busbar assembly, containing:
- an electrical busbar having two end faces, a bottom surface, a top surface and two side faces connecting said bottom surface and said top surface;
- and
- a metallic busbar heatsink having a bottom wall and at least two cooling fins extending from said bottom wall, said cooling fins together with said bottom wall forming a receiving space for receiving said electrical busbar, and said electrical busbar disposed in said receiving space such that at least one of said two side faces of said electrical busbar is in planar contact with one of said cooling fins;
- and
- said electrical busbar is electrically connected to said first connection point on a first section and electrically connected to said second connection point on a second section.
