Abstract:
An apparatus for distributing electric current between at least one wire and a circuit board having a connection hole for providing an electrical connection from the circuit board, the apparatus comprising:a bus bar extending in a length direction between a first tab and a second tab, the bus bar further comprising an interface portion, the interface portion comprising the first tab extending from the bus bar transverse to the length direction and connected to the connection hole, and the second tab extending from the bus bar transverse to the length direction and configured for attachment to the circuit board; and an electrical terminal extending an extension distance away from the bus bar, and positioned adjacent to the second tab apart from the interface portion, the electrical terminal configured to mate with a quick-disconnect connector for providing a quick-disconnect electrical connection to the at least one wire; wherein the bus bar is at least about two times longer in the length direction than the extension distance of the electrical terminal and the bus bar deviates substantially from along a straight line between the connection hole and an edge of the circuit board.
