Abstract
A one-piece plastic part is configured to support a bus bar in an electrical equipment cabinet. The plastic part includes an elongated front wall and an elongated box frame structure projecting transversely from a rear side of the front wall. The front wall and the box frame structure together define peripheral boundaries of an elongated chamber configured to contain the bus bar. The front wall defines a front side of the chamber, and is configured to block electrically conductive access to the bus bar through the front side of the chamber. The box frame structure defines an open rear side of the chamber, and is configured to provide access for insertion of an electrical terminal through the open rear side for connection of the terminal to the bus bar in the chamber. A first aperture in the terminal is configured to receive a fastener which fastens the terminal to the bus bar. A mounting boss on the bus bar fits within a second aperture in the terminal so as to block movement of the terminal relative to the bus par pivotally about the fastener.
