A bussed electrical center (10) includes an electrical-assembly (12) and a single fastening feature (48). The electrical-assembly (12) includes a lower-housing (14), a printed-circuit-board (16), an upper-housing (18), and electrical-devices (20). The lower-housing (14) engages an outer-housing (22) that retains electrical-connectors (24) having a plurality of electrical-terminals (26). The printed-circuit-board (16) has a plurality of corresponding-electrical-terminals (38) configured to mate with the plurality of electrical-terminals (26) of the electrical-connectors (24). The electrical-assembly (12) defines a guide-hole (44) that passes through the upper-housing (18), the printed-circuit-board (16), and the lower-housing (14), wherein the guide-hole (44) defines a shoulder (46) in the upper-housing (18). The single fastening feature (48) consists of one first-fastener element (50) positioned within the guide-hole (44) that has a flange (52) and a shank (54). The shank (54) is operable to engage one second-fastener element (56) in the outer-housing (22). The flange (52) engages the shoulder (46), wherein the electrical-assembly (12) is drawn into the outer-housing (22) when the first-fastener element (50) and the second-fastener element (56) are tightened together to mate the electrical-terminals (26) with the corresponding-electrical-terminals (38).
