Low-cost connectors for inverters and converters and methods of manufacturing and using the same
Abstract
In some embodiments, systems and methods for connector assembly for use with an AC or DC power interface of a power conversion device, such as a converter and an inverter, are provided. The connector assembly can include a circuit board, a power connector, and a pin. The power connector can have a base configured to be secured relative to the circuit board and define a first channel extending through the power connector along a first channel axis. The first pin can have a first pin body that extends along a first pin axis and a first connection element that extends along the first pin axis from the first pin body to a first terminal end that is skewed relative to the first pin axis.
