Abstract

See full text

A power distribution box and a method for producing a PDB include molding a lower cover with an integrated protector plate such that a unitary structure is formed. A busbar is inserted into a bottom side of a frame, and a lower cover is attached to the frame from the bottom side, thereby capturing the busbar between the frame and the lower cover. Integrating the protector plate into the lower cover eliminates a molding process, an assembly process, and adds structural integrity to the lower cover without the addition of extra structural support members, thereby reducing material use and the weight of the assembled device.
