Bathing unit controller and connector system therefore

A connector suitable for use in a bathing unit controller for providing electrical power to a bathing unit component, said connector including a set of contact elements, wherein;

• a. a first subset of said set of contact elements is adapted for generating a power signal characterized by a first current-voltage combination;
• and
• b. a second subset of said set of contact elements is adapted for generating a power signal characterized by second current-voltage combination;
• said connector being adapted for matingly engaging a complementary connector associated to a bathing unit component, when said connector is in use in a bathing unit controller, said connector providing power to the bathing unit component associated to the complementary connector.

A controller suitable for use in controlling components in a bathing unit, said controller comprising:

• a. a controller body;
• b. a plurality of connectors positioned on said controller body for supplying electrical power to a set of bathing unit components;
• c. a plurality of key members adapted to be connected to respective connectors in the plurality of connectors, the plurality of connectors allowing bathing unit components having complementary key members to be connected to connectors having key members matching the complementary key members;
• d. a control circuit positioned within said controller body, in use said control circuit being adapted for selectively providing electrical power to respective bathing unit components through the plurality of connectors.

A bathing unit system comprising in combination:

• a. a controller suitable for use in controlling components in a bathing unit, said controller comprising:
• i. a controller body;
• ii. a plurality of connectors positioned on said controller body, each connector in said plurality of connectors being adapted for providing electrical power to a respective bathing unit component, each connector of said plurality of connectors being adapted for matingly engaging a complementary connector associated to a respective bathing unit component, each connector in said plurality of connectors including:
• 1. a set of contact elements arranged in a common configuration, wherein:
• a. a first subset of said set of contact elements is adapted for generating a power signal characterized by a first current-voltage combination;
• and
• b. a second subset of said set of contact elements is adapted for generating a power signal characterized by second current-voltage combination;
• iii. a control circuit positioned within said controller body, in use said control circuit being adapted for controlling a supply of electrical power to respective bathing unit components through the plurality of connectors;
• b. a plurality of bathing unit components adapted to engage respective ones of the plurality of connectors.

A controller suitable for use in controlling components in a bathing unit, said controller comprising:

• a. a controller body;
• b. a plurality of connector means positioned on said controller body for supplying electrical power to a set of bathing unit components;
• c. a plurality of key means connected to respective connector means in the plurality of connector means so as to allow bathing unit components having complementary key members to be connected to connector means having key means matching the complementary key members;
• d. control circuit means positioned within said controller body, in use said control circuit means being adapted for selectively providing electrical power to respective bathing unit components through the plurality of connectors means.
