Abstract
A circuit breaker device is provided with a pair of molded barrier adapter channels having stepped channel bottom portions conforming, respectively, to the upper and lower back edge corners of the breaker. A studded terminal from the back edge of the breaker casing passes through the portion of the channel bottom conforming to the back of the casing. A preferred conductor bar has one of its parallel ends secured to the threaded stud by a nut, completing both electrical connection to the conductor bar and mechanical support of both the bar and the adapter. The parallel channel side walls, in turn, are terminated at the rear of the barrier channel adapters in flat edges which mount to a supporting rear panel. Connection to the panel is made through a bridge portion between the web through which a fastener can pass. The conductor bar is of such form as to position its other end for front connection to the circuit elements, such as connector tabs from a bus bar at the power side or a conductor to the individual protected load.
