Abstract:
An apparatus for high current conductor termination, the apparatus comprising:a) a base securable to an electrical device;b) an insulated terminal projection extending from said base, said insulated terminal projection having first and second opposite sides;c) first and second opposing connectors on said opposite sides respectively of said terminal projection, said first and second opposing connectors being substantially in line and operable to connect to first and second conductors respectively.d) first and second bus bars connected to said first and second connectors, said first and second bus bars extending closely adjacent each other inside said projection and being operable to connect to said electrical device for electrical current conduction, said first and second bus bars having first and second contact pointse) an electromagnetic interference filter electrically connected to said first and second bus bars, said electromagnetic interference filter being disposed closely adjacent said first and second connectors, said electromagnetic interference filter including first and second capacitive filters connected to said first and second bus bars in spaced apart relation, and a ferrite ring encircling said bus bars, said first capacitive filter including a first circuit board having first and second conducting pads operable to contact said first and second contact points respectively such that said first circuit board is connected directly to said first and second bus bars and said ferrite ring is disposed between said first and second capacitive filters.
