ELEKTRISCHES SYSTEM MIT EINER ZURÜCKZIEHBAREN EINHEIT MIT AUFRECHTERHALTENER STEUER- UND KOMMUNIKATIONSVERBINDUNG

摘要

A connector arrangement is provided for packaged electrical systems, such as motor control centers. The connector arrangement provides for a component connector assembly mounted to component supports for providing network signals and control power to components on the support. A mating prewired connector assembly is provided in the enclosure and forced to mate with the component connector assembly when the component support is fully engaged within the enclosure. Thereafter, the component support may be partially withdrawn from the enclosure to disconnect main power from the component support, while leaving network connections and control power connections by virtue of the mated connectors. The connectors provide for non-sliding contact both when fully engaged and when the components are partially withdrawn from the enclosure.
