Abstract
In one aspect, a set of male and female bus bars is provided. The male bus bar includes first and second conductors and an insulation layer therebetween. The male bus bar has a male connecting portion with one or more fingers. The female bus bar third and fourth conductors and an insulation layer therebetween. The female bus bar has a female connecting portion with one or more receptacles, each having contact surfaces that are free of insulation and that are positioned to contact contact surfaces on an associated finger which are free of insulation so as to connect the first conductor and the third conductor and to connect the second conductor and the fourth conductor. Each finger has a width. A gap exists between the contact surfaces of an associated receptacle. The width and gap are sized to provide a press fit between the fingers and the receptacles.
