A coaxial cable includes a coaxial wire in which an inner insulator, an outer conductor and a sheath are sequentially and coaxially provided around a center conductor, and a substrate having a surface on which a first contact pad and a second contact pad are arranged. The sheath is removed at one end portion of the coaxial wire by a predetermined length, so that the inner insulator and the outer conductor are exposed, and a tip end of the inner insulator is removed by a predetermined length, so that the center conductor is exposed. The exposed portion of the center conductor is soldered to the first contact pad with the exposed portion of the inner insulator being bent relative to the sheath, and the exposed portion of the outer conductor is soldered to the second contact pad with being bent in a direction different from the bending direction of the inner insulator. A part of the coaxial wire covered by the sheath is standing at an angle of 30° or greater relative to the surface of the substrate.

An outlet and nightlight device with a solid base. The base has a front, back, top and two outlets on the front the base. There are two plugs on the back of the base, a light sensor, and a light emitter. The front of the base is attached to a raised section which is attached and in moveable communication with a face plate. In some embodiments the face plate slides across the raised section and in others it can rotate away from the raised section via a hinge on the base plate. The light sensor can trigger to the light emitter to emit light in low light conditions and in some embodiments there is a manual trigger for the light emission. In some embodiments the base has USB port for utilization. In some embodiments the face plate can lock to the base plate. In some embodiments the present invention has ancillary light emitters on the raised plate. In some embodiments of the invention there is a battery back up to supply energy to the light emitter in case of power failure.

An adapter bracket, which screws onto an existing neutral bar in a load center, having legs inserted through the holes in the neutral bar or screwed into the top of the neutral bar. The adapter bracket is configured to accept downward-facing or sideways-facing plug-on neutral mounting clips of a plug-on neutral circuit breaker. The bracket has a support portion extending along a Z-axis perpendicular to a rear wall of the load center. The downward-facing clips can be plugged onto the support portion. Sideways-facing clips are received onto tabs that are bent away from the support portion of the bracket and feature chamfered ends and a relatively small aspect ratio relative to the length of the mounting clip. The other holes in the existing neutral bar remain unobstructed so that a conventional neutral conductor can be inserted through the free holes while the adapter bracket accommodates plug-on neutral mounting clips.

A telecommunications panel has various features for removably mounting patching devices to the panel. The telecommunications panel includes mounting flanges and ramp elements for facilitating mounting and removal of patching devices. The ramp element is associated with a receptacle opening of the panel and configured to contact a flexible latch of the patching device and depress the flexible latch as the patching device is received in the receptacle opening.

An electrical wiring device has a longitudinal axis extending between a top surface and a bottom surface. The electrical wiring device includes at least one line phase wiring terminal, at least one neutral wiring terminal, at least one line phase electrical conductor entry extending along the longitudinal axis of the electrical wiring device and extending between the line phase wiring terminal and the top surface or the bottom surface of the electrical wiring device and at least one neutral electrical conductor entry extending along the longitudinal axis of the electrical wiring device and extending between the neutral wiring terminal and the top surface or the bottom surface of the electrical wiring device.

A foldable power strip having a pair of housing members having one or more outlets thereon and being rotationally connected together about a hinge or vertical axis. A power cord housing is also connected about the hinge or vertical axis to permit the housing members and power cord to be independently rotated relative to one another. The inside walls of the housing members may include side members that define a recess for receiving and protecting the power cord when the housing members are in the closed position.

A lighted outlet system has a circuit mounted on a printed circuit board. The circuit includes a light source that emits light. An outlet is mounted on the printed circuit board over the circuit. The outlet includes an outlet core composed of transparent or clear material. The outlet core serves as a light pipe for light emitted from the light source. Housing houses the outlet core.

An article and method for securing electric and data connection plugs to an outlet are disclosed. The article includes an outlet cover with anchoring points and an encasing hood containing a plug with engagement mechanisms to engage with the anchoring points. In an alternate embodiment the article includes a flexible elastomeric device with open portions to secure a plug and cord and cross portions to secure to anchoring points on the outlet cover. The methods include releasably securing the articles to the outlet cover.

A spring loaded direct plug-in terminal with a direct plug-in connector for the connection of a conductor includes a housing with a chamber and a plug-in channel for plugging the conductor into the chamber. The terminal also includes a busbar, a clamping spring arranged in the chamber and acting as a compression spring for fixing the electrical conductor on the busbar in the area of a clamping site. The clamping spring includes a pivotable clamping arm which can be adjusted from a locked state in a locked position into a clamping state in which it is unlocked from the locked state and presses the electrical conductor against the busbar. An actuation element which is movable in the housing is provided which, together with the clamping arm of the clamping spring, can be locked in the locked state. The mobility of the actuation element in the housing in the locked state can be arrested by a locking element which is movable at an angle relative to the movement direction of the actuation element.
