Abstract

An electrical system may include a busbar assembly and a connector assembly. The busbar assembly may include first and second busbars. A first contact tab extends from the first busbar. A second contact tab extends from the second busbar. The first and second contact tabs include first and second interface ends, respectively, within a common plane. The connector assembly includes a housing that retains first and second electrical contacts. The first electrical contact includes a first contact terminal and the second electrical contact includes a second contact terminal. The first contact terminal defines a first interfacing space and the second contact terminal defines a second interfacing space. The first and second interfacing spaces are aligned with one another. The first and second interface ends are configured to mate with the first and second contact terminals within the first and second interfacing spaces, respectively.
