ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR MOUNTING RAIL AND DISCONNECTING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A mounting rail for mounting a plurality of uniform electrical connectors with their connecting ends in transverse alignment includes transverse locking members to engage corresponding recesses formed on the connector housing to prevent longitudinal displacement among the mounted connectors. The preferred rail is an elongated C-shaped channel member with locking lips formed on the inner surfaces of the upper and lower walls thereof, and mounting flanges may be provided at the forward or open end thereof for panel mounting. A disconnect assembly is also provided for "peeling" the longitudinally engaged banks of connectors, which preferably comprises a lever and cam apparatus.
