Interconneting electrical modules

A first electrical module comprising:

• a housing adapted to be mounted on a rail next to a second electrical module, wherein the housing comprises a pair of side walls connected by a plurality of lateral walls;
• at least one slotted port recessed in a corner formed between one of the pair of side walls and one of the plurality of lateral walls of the housing, wherein the at least one slotted port comprises a plurality of electrical contact pins therein;
• and
• an interconnector comprising a first portion and a second portion each having a plurality of electrical contact pads, wherein each contact pad in the first portion is electrically connected to respective one of the plurality of contract pads in the second portion;
• wherein the interconnector is adapted to removably attach the first electrical module to the second electrical module by inserting the first portion into the slotted port of the first electrical module and inserting the second portion into a slotted port of the second electrical module, thereby aligning and electrically connecting the contact pads of the interconnector with respective contact pins of the first electrical module and respective contact pins of the second electrical module.

A system for connecting a plurality of electrical modules comprising:

• a first electrical module and a second electrical module adapted to be mounted on a rail side by side, wherein each electrical module comprises a housing having a pair of side walls connected by a plurality of lateral walls, wherein each of the pair of electrical modules further comprise at least one slotted port recessed in a corner formed between one of the pair of side walls and one of the plurality of lateral walls, wherein each slotted port comprises an electrical module interface therein;
• and
• an interconnector comprising a first portion and a second portion each having an interconnector interface disposed thereon, wherein the interconnector interface of the first portion is electrically connected to the interconnector interface of the second portion;
• wherein the interconnector is adapted to removably attach to the pair of electrical modules by inserting the first portion into the slotted port of the first electrical module and inserting the second portion into the slotted port of the second electrical module and thereby aligning and electrically connecting the interconnector interface of the first portion with the module interface of the first electrical module and the interconnector interface of the second portion with the module interface of the second electrical module.
