    Abstract: Junction box assembly comprises a housing having a plurality of identical elongated bus bars therein. Each of the bus bars has parallel side edges and ears extending alternately from each of the side edges, the ears being staggered from one side edge to the other. The ears constitute receptacles on the bus bar so that spaced apart receptacles are formed which face in opposite directions. The bus bars and the housing have polarizing surfaces which ensure placement of the bus bars in the housing in a predetermined orientation. The housing which houses the bus bars has latching members located on the outer surface thereof, where the latches comprises interlocking tongues and grooves, which provides for cooperation between the two latching arms.
