ABSTRACT:
Wiring components of a relocatable wiring system having respectively identical male and female terminal housings used respectively in male and female ports of said wiring components, the relocatable wiring system formed of the respective wiring components having particular utility in above-ceiling air handling spaces for electrical connection of lighting fixtures inter alia. Each male port of each wiring component configured according to the invention includes a male terminal housing including latching structure preferably formed of a plenum-rated polymeric material, each male port having a male terminal housing which is identical to the male terminal housing in each of the other male ports. Similarly, each female port of each wiring component includes a female terminal housing formed of polymeric material with all of the female terminal housings being identical. The male and female terminal housings preferably and respectively mount pin contacts and socket contacts of cooperating electrical terminals in the respective male and female ports to facilitate rapid connection and disconnection of system wiring components. The male and female terminal housings provide structure which snap locks the terminals there-into and which prevents axial dislodgement of the terminals from the terminal housings.
