Abstract
An electrical wiring connector having a generally rectangular flat base lying in a first plane; a generally rectangular cover matable with the base, the cover having a top and side walls, the base and cover when in mating relation defining an enclosed space; at least two openings in the cover, one opening in each of at least two of the side walls adjacent to the base; a plurality of separate, flat conductive strips carried by the base, each conductive strip having at least two ends, each conductive strip extending along a separate path between each of the at least two openings, each separate path traversing multiple planes; and a plurality of first terminals on respective ends of each conductive strip, each first terminal lying in a second plane parallel to the first plane, is described.

An electrical wiring connector comprising:
- a generally rectangular flat base lying in a first plane;
- a generally rectangular cover matable with the base, the cover having a top and side walls extending from a surface of the top to the base, the base and cover when in mating relation defining an enclosed space;
- four openings in the cover, one opening in each of at least two of the side walls adjacent to the base;
- hot, neutral and ground flat conductive strips carried by the base, each conductive strip being branched extending along a separate path between each of the four openings, each separate path traversing multiple planes;
- and
- a plurality of first terminals on respective ends of each conductive strip, each first terminal lying in a second plane parallel to the first plane.
