发明名称 Electrical assembly for connecting components of a lighting system for illuminating store shelving
摘要 Quick-connect disconnect connectors are provided as part of an electrical assembly used to electrically couple components to the end of an electrical track section. The connectors have a tongue portion insertable into the end of the track only one way to ensure against cross-wiring and include structures for retaining electrical contacts and strain reliefs. The connectors readily disconnect from the end of the track when force is applied which might be sufficient to damage the track or electrical assembly to prevent such damage.

主权项 1. A electrical assembly comprising: a. a cable having a first end and a second end and comprising a first electrically insulated conductor and a second electrically insulated conductor running the length of the cable between the first and second ends, b. a first flat conductor tab having an outside edge, with a hole extending through the first flat conductor tab, and joined to the first electrically insulated conductor at a first joint, c. a second flat conductor tab having an outside edge, with a hole extending through the second flat conductor tab, and joined to the second electrically insulated conductor at a second joint, wherein the first joint and the second joint are each located at the first end of the cable, d. a first strain relief adapted to surround and secure the first joint and a second strain relief adapted to surround and secure the second joint, e. a housing comprising a base and proximal, distal and opposing side walls extending from the base and forming an open chamber adapted to contain the first strain relief and the second strain relief, an opening in the proximal wall through which the first and second insulated conductors of the cable are adapted to pass, a lock opening in each of the side walls, an opening in the distal wall through which the first and second flat conductor tabs are adapted to pass, a tongue projecting from the distal wall away from the chamber, an alignment rail projecting in a first direction from the tongue, a first pin projecting in the first direction from the tongue on a first side of the alignment rail to a free end, and a second pin projecting in the first direction from the tongue on second side of the alignment rail to a free end, the free end of the first pin adapted to be inserted through the hole of the first flat conductor tab and the free end of the second pin adapted to be inserted through the hole of the second flat conductor tab; f. a cover including a chamber cover portion and a tongue cover portion, the chamber cover portion adapted to close the open chamber of the housing and including locking tabs adapted to engage the lock openings in the side walls of the housing, the tongue cover portion adapted to cover the free ends of the first pin and the second pin and including an alignment channel adapted to receive the alignment rail of the tongue, wherein with the cover cooperates with the housing to retain the cable within the opening in the proximal wall, the first strain relief and the second strain relief within the chamber, the first flat conductor tab on the first pin and the second conductor tab on the second pin with the outside edge of the first conductor tab projecting outwardly in a first direction from the tongue and tongue cover portion and the outside edge of the second conductor tab projecting outwardly from the tongue and tongue cover in a second direction opposite of the first direction; and g. an alignment guide extending from the tongue or tongue cover in either the first or second direction.
