Elektrischer Verbinder mit verbesserter Erdungsschiene

摘要

An electrical connector assembly has a first housing (16) and a second housing (18) with respective first and second bus bars (70, 170) provided therein. The bus bars (70, 170) are configured to be interwoven when the connector housings (16,18) are mated together to ensure that the bus bars (70,170) will occupy a minimal cross-sectional area. This allows the connector assembly to have terminals which are closely spaced, thereby minimizing the dimensions of the connector assembly.
