  • Patent number: 5684273
    Abstract: A laminated bus bar is supported on an elongate, rigid substrate, and has at least one, thin, metal terminal projecting laterally therefrom beyond one of the side edges of the substrate. A generally rigid torque clip, which may be made from a plastic material, is mounted on the substrate, and has thereon an integral lug portion, which also projects laterally beyond the same side edge of the substrate, and in registry with the terminal. The terminal has secured thereon a PEM nut or the like, which is positioned in an opening or a recess in the lug portion to retain the terminal in a predetermined position during use. If desired the terminal may be folded around the nut, or may be provided with a tab which is secured in an opening in the lug portion of the terminal.
