摘要： An adapter box for attaching a low voltage lighting fixture to a low voltage track. The track has an insulator track body with a pair of parallel conductive wires mounted in the body. The body has a longitudinal web with a flange formed integral with each of opposed sides. A pair of opposed inwardly extending edges is formed integral with the flanges to provide an open space between the edges. The adapter box includes a pair of insulator housing halves secured to each other. Each housing half having a portion of each of a pair of mounting ears connectable to the track body at the opposed edges. The housing halves define a contact opening adjacent to the mounting ears. A pair of contacts is mounted in the housing halves for engaging in electrically conductive contact with the respective conductive wires in the body. A fixture wire is connected to each of the contacts. A contact separator is formed integral with one of said housing halves adjacent to the contact opening for holding the contacts apart. A wire guide assembly is mounted in the housing halves providing a conduit through assembled housing halves. A latch is mounted in one of the housing halves for selectively preventing the housing halves from rotating relative to the track body while the contacts are in electrically conductive contact with the respective parallel conductive wires.
