Original Abstract Submitted

An electrical connector for a substrate support assembly is disclosed herein. The electrical connector includes a first interface body, a second interface body coupled to the first interface body, and a recess within the second interface body. Each of the first interface body and the second interface body comprise a plurality of electrical terminals disposed in sockets formed within the respective first and second interface bodies. Some electrical terminals disposed in sockets of the first interface body are coupled to respective electrical terminals disposed in sockets of the second interface body and form a plurality of isolated electrical pathways. The second interface body includes a bus bar disposed in the recess, connecting at least two of the plurality of first electrical terminals to at least a one of the plurality of second electrical terminals.
