Abstract
Re-configurable electrical connector including a pair of endcaps, a pair of elongate rails, each removably attached at one end to one of the endcaps, and connector modules arranged between the endcaps and including one or more male or female connecting members adapted to electrically connect at a first end to one electrical component or part thereof and at a second, opposite end to another electrical component or part thereof. Each connector module includes connecting members adapted to electrically connect at a first end to a first electrical component or part thereof and at a second, opposite end to a second electrical component or part thereof, and a bend between the first and second ends such that a plane in which the first end of the connecting member is situated is not parallel to a plane in which the second end of the connecting member is situated.
