Abstract: An electrical connection system comprises a connector shell and a plurality of wafer connectors that plug into the connector shell. Each wafer connector holds a plurality of electric terminals that are attached to ends of electric cables, and a lock bar that is attached to the connector shell to retain the wafer connectors in the connector shell. The connector shell has an upper wall, a lower wall and side walls that are spaced apart to define a stack of wafer connector compartments that extends from the upper wall to the lower wall, an uppermost compartment being defined in part by the upper wall and an lowermost compartment being defined in part by the lower wall. The side walls each have slots in their confronting surfaces for each compartment in the stack of wafer connector compartments for locating a wafer connector in each compartment, the slots being longitudinal and open ended so that a wafer connector can be inserted longitudinally into each compartment from an insertion end of the shell.

Abstract: An electrical distribution center electrically interconnects electrical and electronic devices and electrical connectors of wiring harnesses. The electrical distribution center comprises a main bus plate that includes a plurality of stamped metal circuit components that are insert molded in an insulation board. The stamped metal circuit components have a plurality of male blade terminals that project outwardly of the insulation board and that include wire receiving slots. The main bus plate is sandwiched between upper and lower bus plates that each include a plurality of wire circuit components in an insulated routing board that has slots extending through it. The male blade terminals of the main bus plate project through the slots of the upper and lower bus plates for connection with the electrical and electronic components and the electrical connectors of the wiring harnesses.
