Connector for combined DC/data bus

摘要

A combination DC/data connector for connecting electrical equipment stacked in a rack to a continuous vertical combined DC/data bus includes a data connector which cooperates with a slot in the DC/data bus assembly to align the DC/data connector with the bus assembly and make contact with data buses on the walls of the slot. The DC/data connector also includes a pair of DC connectors which slide into channels in the DC bus bars of the DC/data bus assembly after the DC/data connector has been aligned with the bus assembly by the data connector. The data contacts of the DC/data connector are mounted on both sides of a printed circuit card which can be slid into the data connector, and which provides the interconnections between the data contacts and the equipment data interface.
