Abstract: A self-aligning busbar assembly includes a housing, a busbar having a first terminal connecting end, a second terminal connecting end, and a jog portion disposed therebetween, and a front holder coupled to the housing and the busbar. The front holder includes an inner wall defining a busbar receiving aperture to receive at least a portion of the busbar, and at least one flexible tab extending inwardly from the inner wall into the busbar receiving aperture. The at least one flexible tab is configured to bias and center the at least a portion of the busbar within the busbar receiving aperture. At least one clearance is defined in the busbar receiving aperture between the inner wall and the busbar and is configured to enable at least one of the first and second terminal connecting ends to move to account for tolerances and/or variances during installation of the busbar assembly.
