ELECTRIC CONNECTOR RAIL AND POWER PLUG CONNECTABLE TO SUCH A RAIL

摘要

An electrical connector rail has an insulator body (9; 409) and a carrier (6; 406) fixed to each other and both extending in the same longitudinal direction. One or more conductors (13-15; 413-415) are embedded in the insulator body (9; 409) and extending in the longitudinal direction of the carrier (6; 406) in a position accessible by perforating the insulator body (9; 409). Also described is a power plug (5; 405) connectable to such a rail which has one or more contact pins (16-18; 416-418) projecting from a housing (19; 419) of the plug and having a sharp distal end (26-28; 470) for perforating the insulator body (9; 409) for providing access of the contact pins (16-18; 416-418) to the conductor or conductors (13-15; 413-415) embedded in the insulator body (9; 409).
