ABSTRACT:
A bus bar carrying electrical plug connector (2) for mating with a receptacle connector (4) mounted to float in the back panel (P2) of a drawer containing a power supply distribution module, comprises the rear insulating housing member (6), a bus bar and contact assembly (8) and a front insulating housing member (10). The bus bar assembly (8) comprises bus bars (32) from a forward longitudinal edge of each of which projects a socket contact (34), the opposite edge of each bus bar (32) being formed with a notch (40). The rear housing member (6) has a back wall (12) provided with a row of alternating merlons (28) and ribs (30). The front housing member (10) has through cavities (52) each for receiving a respective contact (34) and rearwardly opening slots (60) communicating with the cavities (52) for receiving the bus bars (32). When the housing members (6 and 10) are assembled together about the bus bar assembly (8), the ribs (30) engage in the notches (40) in the bus bars (32) and the merlons (28) engage opposite side faces of the bus bars (32) whereby the bus bars are supported in the connector (2).
