ABSTRACT:
A self-aligning connector that is used with electrical plug-in-module connectors. The self-aligning connector has an elongated connector body with a cutout portion extending from its top surface to its bottom surface to form a walled structure that would surround an electrical contact area. A foot portion extends from each end of the connector body. Each foot portion has an inclined front surface that mates with the inclined bottom wedge surface of a wedge block. Elongated slots in the respective wedge blocks algin with vertically oriented bore holes in the foot portions and mounting screws are passed downwardly through the respective openings. As the mounting screws are tightened the wedge blocks and foot portions have relative translation along their inclined surfaces, thus aligning the connector in the cutout portion.
