Abstract:
1. A bus bar connector system for removably connecting at least two electronic components to each other, comprising, a bus bar module that includes a cover that is made from an insulating material and that is connected to the bus bar and extends over the covered segment of the bus bar; and a clip that engages the bus bar module and is movable between at least first and second positions, such that the clip in the first position overlies at least one of the first and second blades of the bus bar, and the clip in the second position is spaced from the at least one of the first and second blades of the bus bar; wherein the bus bar module is a first bus bar module and the system includes, a second bus bar module having a blade and a covered surface that extends from the blade, and a splice joint defined between the first and second bus bar modules and that includes a conductive receptacle that holds respective blades of the bus bars of the first and second bus bar modules adjacent to each other, and wherein the clip is made from an insulating material and covers the splice joint so that the covers of the first and second bus bar modules and the clip define a continuously insulated covered length of the combination of the first and second bus bar modules and the splice joint.
