Claim Text:
1. A bused electrical center comprising: a pair of bus bars, each of the bus bars having an isolation tab; a bus bar housing having a first housing body, a plurality of first rails and a plurality of alignment bosses, the first rails extending from the first housing body, each of the alignment bosses being coupled to the first housing body and being disposed between a corresponding pair of the first rails, the bus bars being mounted on the bus bar housing such that each of the isolation tabs is disposed between an associated pair of the first rails; a filter housing having a second housing body, a plurality of second rails, and a plurality of guides, the second housing body defining a filter cavity and a pair of lead apertures, the second rails being coupled to the second housing body and being disposed parallel to the lead apertures, each of the lead apertures extending through an associated one of the guides, the second housing body being coupled to the first housing body such that the second rails engage the first rails; a filter device having a capacitor and a pair of leads that are electrically coupled to the capacitor, the capacitor being at least partly received in the filter cavity, each of the leads being received through an associated one of the lead apertures, an associated one of the guides and into an associated one of the alignment bosses; and a plurality of interface terminals, each of the interface terminals being received between a pair of the first rails and having a bus bar contact, which is electrically engaged to a corresponding one of the isolation tabs, and a lead contact that is electrically engaged to a corresponding one of the leads; wherein no solder is employed to electrically or mechanically couple the interface terminals to the leads or to the isolation tabs such that the interface terminals are the sole means for electrically connecting the isolation tabs and the leads.
