Abstract

An electrical track and connector assembly includes at least two electrical tracks each having two spaced-apart track wires, and an electrical connector having a housing, and first and second conductive wire units disposed in the housing. The housing has two connecting end portions connected respectively to the electrical tracks, and a wire prop-up unit projecting from an inner surface thereof. Each of the first and second conductive wire units includes two terminals respectively disposed in the connecting end portions and connected electrically and respectively to the track wires, and an intermediate portion interconnecting the terminals. The intermediate portion of one of the first and second conductive wire units has at least one bent rising section held by the wire prop-up unit and extending across the intermediate portion of the other one of the first and second conductive wire units without contact therewith.
