Abstract
A ganged modular electrical shunt for use in programming electric/electronic equipment is disclosed which comprises a multiplicity of electrically insulating, substantially rectangular housing blocks, each of which includes a base, a top, and two end walls, and a pair of elongated, substantially parallel, electrically conducting terminals secured to and extending outwardly from the base. The housing blocks each have a dove-tail shaped portion extending from the outer surface of the base wall between two electrically conducting terminals and are slidably engaged thereby with a mounting bar having a groove correspondingly shaped to match and receive the profile of the dove-tail shaped portions of the housing blocks.
Claims4
A ganged modular electrical shunt comprising:
- a multiplicity of electrically insulating, substantially rectangular housing blocks, each block including a base, a top, and two end walls, and a pair of elongated, electrically conducting terminals secured to and extending outwardly from the base of the housing block in substantially mutually parallel spaced relationship;
- said ganged shunt being further characterized in that:
- each housing block has a dove-tail shaped portion extending from the outer surface of the base wall between two electrically conducting terminals and is slidably engaged thereby with a mounting bar having a groove correspondingly shaped to match the profile of the dove-tail shaped portions of the housing blocks and to receive said dove-tail shaped portions.
