Abstract: A bus bar assembly includes a bus bar formed of a first electrically conductive material having a planar contact portion. The bus bar defines a first bore extending through the contact portion. The bus bar assembly further includes a contact insert formed of a second electrically conductive material that has a greater hardness than the first electrically conductive material. The contact insert defines a first surface that is mechanically and electrically connected to the contact portion of the bus bar. The contact insert defines a second surface this is plated with a third electrically conductive material which is different than the second electrically conductive material. The contact insert defines a smooth second bore coaxial with the first bore and extending from the first surface to the second surface.

Abstract: An electrical assembly includes an electrical conductor having a planar portion and defining a bore hole extending through the planar portion and an electrical contact having a tubular portion disposed within the bore hole and a plurality of contact petals extending radially from the tubular portion. The plurality of contact petals are in electrical contact with the electrical conductor. A method of producing such an electrical assembly is also provided.
