Abstract

A busbar holder includes a supporting base having engaging prongs located at opposing ends of the supporting base. These engaging prongs engage receptacles in a printed circuit board (PCB) to secure the supporting base to the PCB. Four securing prongs extending vertically upward and having catch hooks at their free end are attached to the respective corners of the supporting base. A supporting wall extending vertically upward is attached to the supporting base and located intermediate the four securing prongs. Busbars are inserted between the wall and two of the securing prongs and are secured in place by the catch hooks.
