ABSTRACT:
An extruded track or base has exposed conductor segments molded into the polymeric base. A socket defining adaptor is releasably secured to the base in any location there along by twisting it through only 45 degrees or less. The adaptor is assembled from a back plate that has cams designed to fit into slots provided in the base, and a cover portion that defines a socket for a thru prong plug. In a cavity defined by the cover and back plate fixed and flexible contacts provide electrical connection between the plug socket and the conductor segments in the track or base. Each plug prong is connected with an opposite conductor and the ground plug stud connects to a ground conductor in the base through a spring located at the axis of rotation for the adaptor during the twist locking of the adaptor onto the track.
