Abstract
An electrical connector includes a base disposed along a central axis having a base terminal end and a base contact end. A lever arm is disposed along the central axis and has a biasing end and a lever arm contact end. At least two conductors are interposed between the base and the lever arm, and include contact ends opposite each other separated by an opening configured to receive a power busbar. The conductors have terminal ends opposite each other and separated by a slot configured to receive an electrical component. A hinge pivotally attaches between the base and the lever arm at a pivot axis for rotation of the lever arm about the pivot axis between an engaged position for electrical coupling of the at least two conductors with the power busbar and a disengaged position for electrical decoupling of the at least two conductors from the power busbar.
