Abstract: An electrical connector includes a base disposed along a central axis having a base terminal end and a base contact end. A lever arm is disposed along the central axis and has a biasing end and a lever arm contact end. At least two conductors are interposed between the base and the lever arm, and include contact ends opposite each other separated by an opening configured to receive a power busbar. The conductors have terminal ends opposite each other and separated by a slot configured to receive an electrical component. A hinge pivotally attaches between the base and the lever arm at a pivot axis for rotation of the lever arm about the pivot axis between an engaged position for electrical coupling of the at least two conductors with the power busbar and a disengaged position for electrical decoupling of the at least two conductors from the power busbar.

Abstract: An electrical power distribution system includes a first bus bar and a clamp mounted to the first bus bar. The clamp includes a fixed base and a movable plate that define a track therebetween along a broad face of the first bus bar. The track receives a second bus bar therein such that the broad face of the first bus bar engages a corresponding broad face of the second bus bar. The clamp includes a lever connected to both the movable plate and the first bus bar. Pivoting movement of the lever in a locking direction forces linear movement of the movable plate relative to the first bus bar towards the fixed base such that respective inner sides of the movable plate and the fixed base sandwich the second bus bar therebetween to secure the second bus bar in engagement with the first bus bar.
