Integrated contactor mounting post
A contactor assembly post is provided. The contactor assembly post includes a first portion electrically connected to an external bus bar at an exterior of an electrical contactor housing, a second portion electrically connected to an internal bus bar at the exterior of the electrical contactor housing, a third portion and fins. The internal bus bar is configured to extend into an interior of the electrical contactor housing to be electrically coupled to another internal bus bar. The third portion extends transversely between the first and second portions. The fins extend transversely from multiple points defined along a longitudinal axis of the third portion.
