ABSTRACT:
A power distribution box (PDB) such as for use in an automotive vehicle, has a busbar adapted to retain a power connection bolt in connection with the busbar, thus permitting the busbar/bolt combination to be inserted from below into an operative position within the PDB housing. This results in the busbar and the bolt being securable within the PDB housing without the need for more costly alternatives such as insert molding or separate fabrication of a receptacle block. The busbar includes a generally U-shaped bolt retention bracket with latch tabs projecting inwardly to engage the bolt head and hold the bolt captive within the bracket.
