Patent ID: 8388358

Claim:
A contact rail configured to be inserted into a junction box, the contact rail comprising: a metal body extending between a module coupling end and a mating end, the metal body includes a diode mounting surface positioned between the module coupling end and the mating end, the module coupling end having a base configured to receive a contact from a power module; a diode surface mounted to the diode mounting surface of the metal body, the diode and metal body being configured to be inserted into the junction box as a unit; a pivot member extending from the base of the module coupling end, the pivot member configured to be engaged by an elongated tool; and a module coupling fastener joined to the module coupling end, the module coupling fastener movable between a resting position and an open position, the module coupling fastener abutting the base of the module coupling end in the resting position, the module coupling fastener separated from the base of the module coupling end in the open position to form a gap configured to receive the contact of the power module, the module coupling fastener configured to receive the elongated tool to move the module coupling fastener from the resting position to the open position, the pivot member configured to support the elongated tool as the module coupling fastener is moved from the resting position to the open position.
