A busbar connection system comprising:
- a busbar;
- a busbar connector having a base and first and second flexible mounting arms extending from the base, the base being secured to the busbar, the first and second flexible mounting arms each having a respective termination portion extending therefrom, the termination portions being configured for mechanical and electrical termination to an electrical component;
- wherein the flexible mounting arms allow relative movement between the busbar and the electrical component when the busbar connector is secured to the electrical component.
A busbar connector comprising:
- a base configured to be mechanically and electrically connected to a busbar;
- first and second flexible mounting arms extending from the base, the first and second flexible mounting arms each being generally U-shaped and having an inner leg and an outer leg with a folded-over section therebetween, each of the first and second flexible mounting arms having one of the inner leg and the outer leg extending from the base and the other of the inner leg and the outer leg having a termination portion configured for mechanical and electrical termination to an electrical component, the first and second flexible mounting arms being flexible to allow relative movement between the busbar and the electrical component.
