Electrical distribution center
First Claim
1. An electrical distribution center comprising:
- a housing composed of a first material having a first melting point;
an electrical bus disposed in the housing;
a removable electrical/electronic component electrically connectable to the electrical bus and which produces a predetermined temperature in operation higher than the first melting point;
an opening formed in the housing; and
a socket mounted within the housing opening and physically supporting the electrical/electronic component in electrical contact with the electrical bus, the socket being composed of a second, differing material having a second melting point higher than the predetermined temperature produced by the electrical/electronic component in operation, whereby the housing is effectively isolated and protected by the socket as the electrical/electronic component operates.

Abstract
An electrical distribution center includes a housing composed of a first material having a first melting point, an electrical bus disposed in the housing, a removable electrical/electronic component electrically connected to the electrical bus and which produces a predetermined temperature in operation higher than the first melting point, an opening formed in the housing, and a socket mounted within the housing opening and physically supporting the electrical/electronic component. The socket is composed of a second, differing material having a second melting point higher than the predetermined temperature produced by the electrical/electronic component in operation, whereby the housing is effectively isolated and protected by the socket as the electrical/electronic component operates.

15. An electrical distribution center comprising:
-
a housing comprising an first housing member attached to a second housing member, the first housing member composed of a first material having a first melting point; an accommodation space defined by the housing; an electrical bus disposed in the accommodation space and electrically connectable to a power supply and at least one electrical load; a removable electrical/electronic component electrically connectable to the electrical bus and which produces a predetermined temperature in operation higher than the first melting point; and a socket carried by the first housing member and physically supporting the electrical/electronic component in electrical contact with the electrical bus, the socket being composed of a second, differing material having a second melting point higher than the predetermined temperature produced by the electrical/electronic component in operation, whereby the first housing member is effectively isolated and protected by the socket as the electrical/electronic component operates. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
