Abstract
An electrical connector assembly comprising a frame member and a first electrical connector box secured to the frame member. At least one electrically operated component is also secured to the frame member and is electrically connected to the first box. A plurality of electrical connectors are mounted within the first box. An attachment member is disposed on the frame member for attaching the frame member and the first box to a support structure. A guide member guides the first box into alignment with a complementary second electrical connector box on the support structure for establishing an electrical connection with the electrically operated component. The subject invention accordingly provides a self-aligning and self-docking electrical connector which automatically connects the electrically operated component to the support structure.
