Abstract
In one embodiment, an improved electrical power distribution apparatus is disclosed which includes a conduit containing at least one elongate conductor (4126, 4128). The conduit has an opening (4154) through which a connector is able to be inserted to connect electrically with the conductor (4126, 4128). The improvement relates to the use of a plurality of conductive members (5100) disposed between the opening (4154) and the conductor (4126, 4128), and a plurality of resilient support members (5200) such that each conductive member (5100) is separately supported by a respective support member (5200) and displaceable by a connector to provide access to the conductor. An improved power supply connector for use with the power distribution apparatus is also disclosed.
