Abstract

In one embodiment the present invention is an MLB assembly 6 that is made up of two circular terminal conductor ends 2, 4. Multiple fins 10 radially extend from each of the two circular terminal conductor ends 2, 4, and each fin on each of the two circular terminal conductor ends has a matching fin on the other of the two circular terminal ends. Multiple flexible connectors 8 are attached to the fins 10 that electrically connects the terminal conductors 2, 4. The flexible connectors 8 also allow for a difference of movement between the two circular terminal ends. Current flowing through the MBL assembly 16 is evenly distributed 18 through the plurality of flexible connectors.
