Abstract

In an electrical track (10) and a complementary connector (11) assembly for the distribution of electric power in a track-type electrical system, the track comprises an external casing which is generically U-shaped to define a channel (13) internally provided with electric contact lines (17) and an inlet (14) on one face of the track to receive a coupling portion (15) of the complementary connector (11). The coupling portion of the connector comprises electric contact elements (18, 19, 20) for connection to the electric contact lines (17) inside the channel. The outer surface (12) of one of the two arms of the U constitutes a side for fastening the track, the aperture (14) of the channel opening out in a direction substantially parallel to the fastening side (12). The connector has an element (21) which hooks onto the track, which is disposed on the leading end of the coupling portion (17) of the connector to engage with an undercut (22) on the bottom of the channel.
