Abstract
A compact connector is provided. The compact connector includes a connector body having a first group of one or more pins on a first face of a contact tip and a second group of one or more pins on an opposed second face of the contact tip. The first group of one or more pins engages with a first busbar, and the second group of one or more pins engages with a second busbar, wherein when the connector engages with the busbars the contact tip is disposed between the first and second busbars. A method of using a connector is also provided.

A compact connector for engaging busbars, comprising:
- a first busbar and a second busbar, configurable to have differing voltages or power and ground connections from each other;
- a connector body having a first group of one or more pins on a first face of a contact tip and a second group of one or more pins on an opposed second face of the contact tip;
- the first group of one or more pins engaging the first busbar;
- and
- the second group of one or more pins engaging the second busbar, wherein when the connector engages with the first and second busbars, the contact tip is disposed between the first and second busbars.
A compact connector, comprising:
- a two pole power connector with a first group of pins on a first face of a contact tip engaging with a first busbar and a second group of pins on an opposed second face of the contact tip engaging with a second busbar, wherein when the connector engages with the first and second busbars, the contact tip is disposed between the first and second busbars.
A method of using a connector, comprising:
- coupling a first busbar to a first group of pins of a first face of a contact tip of a connector;
- coupling a second busbar to a second group of pins of a second face of the contact tip of the connector;
- and
- constraining the first busbar and the second busbar in a spaced apart arrangement with the contact tip between the first busbar and the second busbar.
