Abstract
An electrical distribution system includes an electrical distribution harness having a generally C-shaped channel with a keying arrangement formed therein, and an electrical connector with at least one electrical terminal array within the channel. A modular electrical component includes a mating keying arrangement complimentary to the keying arrangement in the channel, and thereby only allows the modular electrical component to be insertable into the channel and coupled with a corresponding electrical terminal array in a preselected orientation.
