摘要

A neutral connector assembly (220) for a circuit breaker (200). Neutral connector assembly (220) includes a molded case (222) of the circuit breaker (200), and a connector body (324) including a first contact portion (328) configured to make electrical connection with a neutral bar (330), a second portion (324T) having a neutral conductor (326) connected thereto, the connector body (324) being prong-less and securely and immovably mounted to the molded case (222). Circuit breaker neutral connector (220) includes a first contact portion (328) configured to make electrical connection with a flexible beam (335) of a neutral bar (330). Circuit breakers including a prong-less neutral connector (220), panel board assemblies including flexible beams, panel board and circuit breaker assemblies, and methods of making electrical neutral connections are provided, as are other aspects.
