ABSTRACT:
A low-cost electrical connector assembly (1) comprises a socket subassembly (12) removably attached to a distribution subassembly (10) in predetermined inter-position. The distribution subassembly (10) includes a bus housing (8) accommodating and retaining distribution blade buses (2, 3, 4) in predetermined positions, and a bus housing cover (9) removably secured on the bus housing (8) for further supporting and retaining said distribution blade buses (2, 3, 4). The socket subassembly (12) includes a socket housing (11) retaining socket buses (5, 6, 7) in predetermined positions. Each distribution blade bus (2, 3, 4) includes a connection end (22) and a terminal end (23), respectively, and formed from an integral metal bus strip which is folded to fit into the respective predetermined compartments (19) in the bus housing (8). Each socket bus (5, 7) includes respective spaced apart parallel slits (47, 49), and the socket bus (6) includes spaced apart parallel slits (47, 48), wherein the slits (47 ) serve for receiving the connection end (22) of the respective distribution blade busses (2, 3, 4) and the slits (48, 49) serve for receiving entry terminals of equipment to be powered.
