ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for supplying electrical power to a machine at particular voltage and phase magnitudes selected, the connector having one part adapted to be mechanically and electrically connected to the machine and another part adapted to be electrically connected to a conductor providing the electrical power to be supplied. The connector comprises a plurality of pins on one of the connector parts and a corresponding plurality of mating slots on the other of the connector parts adapted to receive the pins when the connector parts are connected together. One of the pins and the corresponding one of the mating slots serve to complete an electrical ground circuit and have a fixed orientation independent of the selected voltage and phase magnitude for the particular connector. The remaining ones of the pins and slots are of a total number and have respective orientations unique to the particular voltage and phase magnitude selected for the connector, and the total number and orientations of the remaining pins and slots are fixed and non-changeable. In a method for forming the connector part having the slots, a hollow body is formed to have an end face and to include the one slot in the end face, and subsequently the remaining slots are provided such as by stamping in the end face spaced from the one slot and being of a number and having orientations selected according to the voltage and phase magnitudes for the particular connector.
