Abstract
A connection assembly includes a busbar defining a first hole, and a circuit board defining a second hole that aligns with the first hole. A battery pack assembly includes the connection assembly. The connection assembly includes a pin having a first body portion and a second body portion. The first body portion is disposed in the first hole and the second body portion is disposed in the second hole. The first body portion defines a first eyelet to allow the first body portion to flex as the first body portion engages the busbar inside the first hole. The second body portion defines a second eyelet to allow the second body portion to flex as the second body portion engages the circuit board inside the second hole. A method of assembling the battery pack assembly includes a first material molded to the busbar to form a frame attached to the busbar.
