DEFINITION

Classification: 439/723

Insulating body with spaced, electrically interconnected, duplicate terminals or contacts:

(under subclass 625) Electrical connector wherein two or more substantially identical, current-carrying terminals, contacts,* conductor-securing means, or other metallic connectors are carried by an electrically insulating body in a relatively fixed, spaced-apart relationship with one another, so that any one terminal, contact, conductor-securing means, or other metallic connector is at the same electrical potential as any other.

(1) Note. Usually, the two or more spaced, electrically interconnected, substantially identical terminals, contacts, conductor-securing means, or other metallic connectors are electrically joined by means of a bus bar, neutral bar, shorting bar, or other similar current-carrying means.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

709+, for an insulating body having plural, mutually insulated terminals or contacts in which it often happens that at least one of the mutually insulated terminals, contacts, conductor-securing means, or other metallic connectors is also electrically connected to other spaced-apart terminals, contacts, etc. which are identical to the said at least one terminal, contact etc.

775+, for an uninsulated connector having spaced electrically interconnected means for securing plural conductors or connectors thereto.
