  • Electrical connector for use with a bus bar system
    Patent number: 9190790
    Abstract: A connector includes a first housing section carrying a first conductor element and a second housing section carrying a second conductor element. The first housing section and the second housing section are coupled to each other about a pivot axis such that the first housing section and the second housing section are moveable relative to each other. The first housing section and the second housing section are intended to be moved from a first position to a second position in which the first conductor element of the first housing section and the second conductor element of the second housing section are positioned to make contact with the electrical conductors of a bus bar. In the second position the first housing section and the second housing section are further adapted to engage with each other to thereby inhibit the first housing section and the second housing section from being moved relative to each other back towards the first position.
