Abstract
A bussed electrical center assembly may include a first housing containing an electrical component. A bussed electrical center assembly may also include a second housing configured to be mechanically attached to the first housing. The second housing defines a resilient cantilevered shock absorbing beam extending from the second housing. The shock absorbing beam is configured to be in compressive contact with the electrical component.
Claims16
A bussed electrical center assembly, comprising:
- a first housing containing an electrical component;
- and
- a second housing disposed adjacent to the first housing, the second housing configured to be mechanically attached to the first housing and defining a resilient cantilevered shock absorbing beam integrally formed with the second housing extending from the second housing in a direction transverse to a rigid support beam, the shock absorbing beam being configured to deform under compressive load to absorb mechanical shock transmitted to the electrical component.
A bussed electrical center assembly housing, comprising:
- a first resilient cantilevered shock absorbing beam extending from the housing;
- a second resilient cantilevered shock absorbing beam extending from the housing, the second shock absorbing beam being arranged opposite the first shock absorbing beam such that compressive forces generated by the second shock absorbing beam is in a direction opposite to the compressive forces generated by the first shock absorbing beam, the first and second shock absorbing beams are configured to be in compressive contact with an electrical component disposed between them;
- and
- wherein the first shock absorbing beam defines a contact pad extending from the shock absorbing beam which is configured to be in compressive contact with the electrical component.
