  • Publication number: 20230175680
    Abstract: A lighting assembly connector is configured for being inserted into a lighting track. The lighting assembly connector includes a casing having a width defining a lateral direction and a length defining longitudinal direction. The length is greater than or equal to the width. The casing is definable as including three sections each defining one-third of the length. The three sections include a middle section, a first end section including a first longitudinal end of the casing and a second end section including a second longitudinal end of the casing. The middle section has a greater average width than each of the first end section and the second end section. The lighting assembly connector also includes a plurality of electrical contacts extending out of the casing each configured for contacting a respective line of the lighting track; and at least one fastener connected to the casing configured for removably connecting the lighting assembly connector to the lighting track.
