Abstract

An electrical unit includes a contactor having a housing member, a first terminal, a second terminal, and/or a contact member disposed in the housing member and configured to selectively electrically connect the first terminal and the second terminal. The electrical unit may include a cooling member connected to the housing member, a first bus bar connected to the cooling member and the first terminal, and/or a second bus bar connected to the cooling member and the second terminal. The cooling member may be configured to dissipate heat that is generated via electrical current flowing through the contact member.
