POLARITY PROTECTION FOR ELECTRIFIED GRID AND MATING CONNECTOR

摘要

A first contact with a first contact portion is secured in a housing. A second contact with a second contact portion is secured in the housing. The second contact portion is offset from a first surface of the connector a greater distance that the first contact portion. An electrified grid has a first conductor and a second conductor, with the first conductor having an opposite polarity to the second conductor. A first insulator member is positioned proximate the first conductor and a second insulator member is positioned proximate the second conductor. The first insulator member is offset from the first surface of the housing a greater distance that the second insulator member. The first and second insulator members prevent the mating of the connector to the electrified grid unless the connector is properly oriented in the electrified grid, thereby insuring proper polarity between the connector and the electrified grid.
