Abstract

A routed wire electrical center adapter for coupling electrical components having varying terminal footprints with standard electrical center components having a standard terminal footprint through an adapter element within the electrical center including application specific electrical elements for receiving, on a first element end, electrical terminals of a first footprint, and for receiving, on a second element end opposing the first element end, electrical terminals of a second footprint. The first footprint is selected from a wide range of footprints as specified in an application. The second footprint is a standard footprint across a broad range of electrical center applications.
