Definitions

  • FIGS. 1-2 and 4 The support arrangement for bridges 47 and 50 is illustrated in FIGS. 1-2 and 4.
  • central bar 19 is provided with rear surface 79 parallel to front face 12 and extending longitudinally along sides 25-26 of channels 20-21.
  • Adjoining bridges 47 are separated by ridges 80 extending laterally between channel sides 24 and 27 and rearwardly raised from rear surface 79.
  • ridges 80 are integrally formed with central bar 19 and U-shaped barrier walls 23.
  • ridge 80 is rearwardly raised from the rearward extremity 81 of central webs 59 which include shoulders 82-83 as mounting surfaces for supporting electrical bridge 50. Shoulders 82-83 are slightly rearwardly disposed in respect to rear surface 79 of central bar 19 to provide electrical separation between bridges 47 and 50 while ridge 80 provides electrical insulation between adjoining bridges 50.
  • said housing including a second aperture extending transversely from said one surface to said first aperture and beyond to said second bridge providing electrical access to said second pair of contacts.
