Abstract: A connector (710) for a flexible busbar is provided. The connector (710) includes an upper jaw member (718), a lower jaw member (720), and a support member (722). The upper jaw member (718) has an outer surface and an inner upper surface. The outer surface has a first guide (740) and a second guide (740). The inner upper surface has a first indenter (739) and a second indenter (739). The lower jaw member (720) has an inner lower surface. The inner lower surface has a first relief (738) and a second relief (738). The support member (722) has a planar inner surface. The upper and lower jaw members (718, 720) depend from opposite ends of the planar inner surface so that the inner upper and lower surfaces face and are spaced from one another along a compression axis by a distance larger than a thickness of the flexible busbar. The first guide (740), the first indenter (739), and the first relief (738) are aligned with one another along a first line (725) on the compression axis. The second guide (740), the second indenter (739), and the second relief (738) are aligned with one another along a second line on the compression axis.

Abstract: 0010313CAV/2516 ABSTRACT A connector for a flexible busbar is provided. The connector includes a jaw and a relief. The jaw has a first member and a second member both depending from a support member and spaced from one another by a distance. The distance is larger than a thickness of the flexible busbar. The relief is defined on first member and/or second member. The jaw is deformably compressible onto the flexible busbar upon application of a deformation force on the first and second members so that the flexible busbar conforms to the at least one relief to form an electrical and mechanical connection.
