Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of safely activating and deactivating hot-swap circuitry powered off of a bus bar. One aspect of the present technology provides a method that includes receiving a bus bar connector. The bus bar connector includes a housing having first and second electrical contacts. The first and second electrical contacts are configured to connect with a bus bar. The bus bar connector also includes a short pin detector attached to the housing. The short pin detector is configured to transmit one or more signals. The method includes engaging the first and second electrical contacts with the bus bar. In response to engaging of the first and second electrical contacts, a first signal can be transmitted indicating that the housing is connected to the bus bar and a hot-swap payload associated with the bus bar connector is activated.

Abstract: An aligning apparatus for mounting cards into a housing space is provided. The aligning apparatus includes a first line card having a mating portion and a card guide assembly coupled to the first line card. The mating portion is configured to mate with a backplane of the housing space. The card guide assembly varies from a first height at a first portion to a second height at a second portion. The varying heights correspond to an arrangement of components on a neighboring card. The first and second portions are configured to guide directional movement of the first line card in relation to one or more components on the neighboring card during insertion of the first line card into the housing space. In this regard, the first line card is guided past the one or more components on the neighboring card as the mating portion of the first line card is moved toward the backplane.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides various bus bar connectors configured to draw power from a bus bar at non-discrete locations. In one aspect, a bus bar connector may include a connector housing having a slot. The slot may be configured to allow the connector housing to grip a bus bar at different locations. First and second electrical contacts may be disposed on opposite sides of the slot. The bus bar connector includes mounting members for securing the connector housing against an enclosure for the bus bar and a spring clip that can be to attach to upper and lower outer surfaces of the connector housing to provide an amount of contact force onto the outer surface of the connector housing. The amount of contact force enables the first and second electrical contacts to securely grip the bus bar.
