  • Patent number: 4781627
    Abstract: A bus bar stab and insulator assembly for a motor controller has a two-piece housing and a three-piece stab finger clip. The housing base has a number of partitions which define pathways for the stab fingers. The housing cover is slidably mateable with the base and has a tab for receiving a self tapping screw. The stab fingers extend from the housing for making contact with bus bars. The stab finger clip has two fingers with interlocking tabs secured together with a screw which also connects one or more connector cables to the clip. The fingers are constructed of copper alloy and do not require the use of springs.
