Patent ID: 11322803

Abstract:
A busbar system is configured to carry current, such as, for example, in a battery system. The busbar system includes two or more busbars, that interface at respective surfaces and are aligned by one or more alignment features. The one or more alignment features may include a boss feature such as a pin or other protrusion, a recess such as a hole, slot, or other recess feature, or both a boss feature and a recess feature. Each busbar may include an alignment feature that engages with the alignment feature of the other busbar to cause, maintain, or otherwise effect alignment. Alignment of the busbars ensures relative position, prevents relative motion, or both. The busbars are engaged with each other by positioning the busbars such that their mating surfaces can engage, and then engaging alignment features of the busbars to provide alignment of the busbars relative to each other.
