Abstract

A power distribution assembly is disclosed having a bussing distribution connector having a plurality of electrical bussing terminals positioned within an electrically insulative housing. A plurality of electrical terminals are positioned in the housing for distributing more than one electrical circuit; at least one ground terminal, at least one neutral terminal and at least three hot terminals. A grounding shell at least partially surrounds the bussing connector and includes a grounding tab grounding the one ground terminal to the metallic grounding shell. In another embodiment, two bussing connectors are interconnected together, to provide for an increased number of output ports.
