Abstract
A flexibly configurable power distribution center in which an electrical signal or power is routed by implementing an electrical interconnection at any point along a path of a conductor. Insulative portions or boards within an electrical power distribution center are fabricated having a plurality of recesses for receiving electrical conductors therein. The electrical conductors are in the form of flexibly configurable strips of metal such as steel, copper, brass or the like, which are disposed within the recesses in the insulating portions. The strips of metal are dimensioned and disposed within the recesses forming an exposed conductive ridge which is mechanically and electrically engageable by interface terminals along substantially the entire length of the conductor. The interface terminals have at least one female mating portion for mechanically mating with the conductive ridge to establish electrical continuity therewith. A plurality of recesses can be configured within the insulating portions, and the metal strip can be disposed within selected recesses or portions of recesses as desired to provide various alternative conductive trace configurations with the same insulative portion. The strip metal is cut to desired lengths for automated or manual installation within the selected recesses.
