Abstract
A system for vehicle interior electrical power distribution includes an electrical power track assembly having at least one electrical power strip and at least one electrical ground strip, and an electrical connector assembly slidable in the track assembly. The electrical connector assembly has a first set of electrical contacts and a second set of electrical contacts. The first set of electrical contacts are configured to maintain electrical connection with respective ones of the at least one electrical power strip and the at least one electrical ground strip during sliding such that the slidable connector assembly provides electrical power to respective ones of the second set of electrical contacts, and the second set of electrical contacts are configured to electrically couple to and provide electrical power to at least one removable electrical accessory that is installed to the slidable connector assembly.
