Abstract:
An electrical device according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a frame, a conductor having a conductive element and an electrically insulating cover disposed about at least a portion of the conductive element, and a busbar mounted to the frame. The busbar includes a busbar body and a weld crimp. The weld crimp has a base, which extends from the busbar body, and a cross-member that is coupled to the base on a side of the base that is opposite the busbar body. The cross-member has a weld portion and a crimp portion. The weld portion intersects the base. The crimp portion intersects the weld portion and has a crimp member that receives the conductor. The crimp member is permanently deformed about the conductor so as to apply a clamping force to the conductor. The conductive element is welded to the weld portion.
