Abstract
A mobile platform seat electrical connection system includes an electrical bus having multiple conductors. A C-shaped trough includes an insulating medium to fix the conductors in a parallel configuration. Each of the conductors has a bulbous or male shaped head and a neck connected to the head supporting the conductor within the trough. A neck width is smaller than a head width. Seats are positioned in the mobile platform, each having multiple C-shaped female contact members. The contact members are biased to releasably engage the head of the conductors and transfer electrical energy between the conductor and the seat. The seats can be positioned at any location along the bus.
