Patent ID: 8579650

Claim:
An electrical disconnect comprising: a first non-electrically-conductive housing having a first electrically-conductive contact comprising a push-in type connector formed on a first end of the first contact; and a second non-electrically-conductive housing having a second electrically-conductive contact, the second electrically-conductive contact having at least two push-in type connectors electrically coupled through a busbar, and each of the push-in type connectors formed on a first end of the second contact, the second housing defining a first interior space at least partially enclosing the first end of the second contact having the push-in type connectors, and a second interior space adapted to receive at least a portion of the first housing such that a protrusion formed on at least one of the second contact or the busbar extends from the first interior space into the second interior space, wherein the first and second housings are releasably engageable, and wherein during engagement of the first and second housings, the protrusion electrically engages and causes to flex a resilient contact portion found on the first contact to electrically couple the first contact to both of the push-in type connectors of the second contact.
