Connector block

摘要

A connector block having at least one internally bussed section comprises an electrically insulating housing having top and bottom faces and an electrically conductive buss contact. The housing has exposed on one face a plurality of apertures adapted to receive leads and exposed on an opposite face a plurality of first openings in line and communicating with the apertures respectively and a second opening bridging sides of and communicating with the plurality of first openings. The electrically conductive buss contact is disposed in the second opening and insertable thereinto through the opposite face. The buss contact comprises a body portion disposed in the second opening, a plurality of contact portions resiliently extending from the body portion and into the associated first openings respectively for contact with leads inserted through the associated apertures and associated first openings. The housing further includes intermediate the faces a pair of oppositely facing ledges which cooperate with oppositely facing stop portions of the buss contact to limit movement of the buss contact from its designated position within the housing.
