Electrical connection bus
View Patent ↗A connecting bus includes an electrically conductive bar comprising two electrical connector assemblies. At least one of the two electrical connector assemblies includes a female connector having at least one electrically conductive spring tongue. For each of the electrical connection assemblies included in the connecting bus, the electrically conductive bar includes a corresponding non-isolated zone surrounding the electrical connection assembly. The electrically conductive bar further includes an outside electrically insulating layer surrounding the whole electrically conductive bar apart from the non-isolated zone.
1. A connecting bus, comprising
an electrically conductive bar; and
two electrical connection means electrically connected to one another through said electrically conductive bar, wherein at least one of the two electrical connection means comprises a female connector including an electrically conductive spring tongue, wherein, for each of the electrical connection means included in the connecting bus, the electrically conductive bar includes a corresponding non-isolated zone surrounding said electrical connection means and wherein the electrically conductive bar further comprising an outside electrically insulating layer surrounding the whole electrically conductive bar apart from said non-isolated zone.
2. The connecting bus according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive bar is made of a solid copper alloy.
3. The connecting bus according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive bar has an elongated shape about a middle line.
4. The connecting bus according to claim 3 , wherein the middle line extends in a middle plan, the cross section of the electrically conductive bar with respect to the middle line being substantially rectangular, the larger dimension of the cross section being parallel to the middle plan.
5. The connecting bus according to claim 3 , wherein the middle line has a U or a Y shape.
6. The connecting bus according to claim 3 , wherein the cross section of the electrically conductive bar is substantially constant along the portion of the middle line extending between the two connection means.
7. The connecting bus according to claim 1 , wherein the female connector comprises a cylindrical socket press-fitted in the electrical conductive bar.
8. The connecting bus according to claim 1 , wherein the female connector comprises an insulating housing including a guiding aperture adapted to protect the spring tongues during a connection operation of the female connector to a pin contact.
9. The connecting bus according to claim 1 , wherein the two electrical connection means are identical.
