Abstract:
An electrical connection unit for a battery pack includes a busbar having a first hole therein, a top surface and a bottom surface, an annular bushing having a top end abutting the bottom surface, a bottom end opposed to the top end and a bore hole therein registered with the first hole, a busbar cage secured to the busbar and retaining the annular bushing in abutment with the busbar, the busbar cage having a cavity therein above the top surface, and a fastener having a head portion captured within the cavity and a shank portion extending through the first hole. The annular bushing may include one or more indents formed on an outer surface thereof, and the busbar cage may include a plurality of fingers extending along the outer surface and interfacing with the one or more indents. Each finger may include a protrusion configured to rest within an indent.
