Abstract
A power electronics module includes an electronics module and a connector housing. The electronics module includes at least one interface section having at least one conductive surface. At least one connector is configured for attachment to the electronics module to establish electrical communication between the connector and the electronics module. The connector includes a connector housing, an insulative housing, a terminal and a biasing device. The insulative housing is supported by the connector housing. The terminal is configured to transmit electrical current to the conductive surface of the electronics module. The biasing device is configured to bias the terminal in a first direction to establish electrical contact with the conductive surface and the conductive surface biases the terminal in a second direction, opposite the first direction.
