CONNECTORS FOR ELECTRICALLY ACTIVE GRID

摘要

A connector for electrical connection to an electrified grid element having first and second conductors disposed on a top portion of the grid element. In one embodiment, the connector comprises a single-piece insulator housing; a fastening means on the insulator housing for attaching the connector to a device; and first and second contacts within the insulator housing, the insulator housing configured to align the first and second contacts with the first and second conductors of the electrified grid element; wherein a base of the insulator housing comprises a recess that corresponds to the shape of the top portion of the grid element such that the housing can be mounted over the top portion of the grid member.

主权项

1. An electrified framework system comprising:
a grid element having a top portion and a web portion extending from the top portion in a substantially vertical plane, the grid element comprising first and second conductors of opposing polarity, the first and second conductors being disposed on the top portion of the grid element and being positioned on opposing sides of the substantially vertical plane; and a connector mounted over the top portion of the grid element, the connector configured to provide a low power voltage connection between the first and second conductors and an external conductive element.
