System for selectively effecting electrical connection among a plurality of loci in a housing

摘要

An improved system for selectively effecting electrical connection intermediate a plurality of electrical leads at a plurality of loci in a housing. The housing includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion configured to engage in a predetermined orientation during assembly of the housing. The system includes an electrical bridging member located in one housing portion. The bridging member has a plurality of bias units, each of which is situated substantially at a respective locus of the plurality of loci. The system further includes a bearing member which is located in the other housing portion and includes a plurality of urging units; there is a respective urging unit substantially in register with each respective locus when the first housing portion and the second housing portion are in the predetermined orientation. The plurality of urging units cooperate with the plurality of bias units during assembly to engage each respective bias unit with a respective electrical lead of the plurality of electrical leads at each respective locus to selectively electrically connect the respective electrical leads.
