The first terminal holding portion 21A and the second terminal holding portion 22A of the fixing housing 2 are integrally molded with resin.

An electrical outlet has a housing including a perimeter housing portion sandwiched between front and rear housing portions. The perimeter housing portion define an interior and has a front edge and a rear edge. The front housing portion has a rear surface that engages the front edge of the perimeter housing portion, and the front housing portion includes one or more electrical receptacle openings to the interior, with a plurality of rearwardly-extending latch tabs for securing the electrical outlet to a mounting surface. The rear housing portion has a front surface that engages the rear edge of the perimeter housing portion. The rear and perimeter housing portions cooperate to define a strain relief for an electrical cord that supplies power to electrical contacts inside the housing.

An electrical receptacle assembly including first and second prong receiving members, a housing and a tamper resistant member. The housing has the prong receiving members positioned therein and electrically isolated from each other. The tamper resistant member is slidingly coupled to the housing. The tamper resistant member is restricted from sliding if only a first portion of the tamper resistant member is pressed upon proximate to one of the prong receiving members.

A cover for an electrical receptacle including a faceplate. The cover also includes a first transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a first power line of the electrical receptacle and a second transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a second power line of the electrical receptacle. Additionally, the cover includes a device (such as a light source, circuit, port, or sensor) in communication with the first transmission tab and the second transmission tab.

An elevated outlet assembly includes a tripod that has a base and a plurality of legs each extending downwardly from the base. Each of the legs engages a support surface thereby elevating the base upwardly from the support surface. A disk is disposed on the base and a plurality of female electrical outlets is each integrated into the disk to receive a power plug from an electronic device. Each of the female electrical outlets is elevated when the tripod is positioned on the support surface to inhibit the power plug from the electronic device from coming into contact with moisture on the support surface. A power cord is coupled to and extends away from the disk and the power cord can be plugged into a power source to supply electrical power to the respective electronic device.

Disclosed is a power wiring device which comprises: at least one elongated wiring member which includes a plurality of first connectors and allows the first connectors to be mutually electrically conducted; and a plurality of circuit modules each including a second connector which is mechanically and electrically attachable to and detachable from any of the first connectors, wherein the plurality of circuit modules include: at least one energy harvesting module as a circuit module capable of outputting power generated by energy harvesting from the second connector; and at least one load module as a circuit module capable of consuming power input from the second connector.

A controllable electrical outlet may be used to control one or more standard electrical outlets. The controllable electrical outlet may include a first connection configured to be electrically coupled to a hot connection, a second connection configured to be electrically coupled to a standard electrical outlet, and a third connection configured to be electrically coupled to a neutral connection. The controllable electrical outlet may also include a load control circuit, a communication circuit, and a control circuit. The load control circuit may be electrically coupled in series between the first and second screw terminals to control power delivered to the standard electrical outlet, and the control circuit may be coupled to the load control circuit and the communication circuit. The control circuit may be configured to control power delivered to the standard electrical outlet in response to a wireless signal received via the communication circuit.

A power connection assembly for an appliance includes a receptacle that has an inner wall. The inner wall defines a cavity. A channel is defined by the inner wall and is in communication with the cavity. A power cord is configured to be at least partially received by the cavity of the receptacle. A cap is rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position and is configured to at least partially encase the power cord. A protrusion extends radially from the cap. A switch is positioned proximate the channel and is operable between an open position and a closed position. The protrusion is received by the channel and is configured to move the switch to the closed position.

A ganged connector assembly includes: a plurality of coaxial connectors, each of the coaxial connectors connected with a respective coaxial cable extending rearwardly therefrom, each of the coaxial connectors including an inner contact and an outer body that is electrically separated from the inner contact; a shell having a plurality of cavities; and a plurality of rear bodies, each of the rear bodies encircling a respective outer body, each of the rear bodies mounted in a respective cavity of the shell. Each of the rear bodies includes a first locking feature. A second locking feature is located in each of the cavities and is fixed relative to the shell. The first and second locking features are configured such that rotation of a first of the plurality of rear bodies relative to the shell moves the first rear body between locked and unlocked positions, wherein in the locked position a respective first connector and respective first cable are secured with the shell within a respective cavity, and in the unlocked position the first connector and first cable can be removed from the shell without removing the remaining connectors and cables.

A modular high-current connector (1) has a first housing part (7) and a second housing part (8) connected thereto. The second housing part (8) has an open housing wall (10). The open housing wall (10) can be added to by an unlimited number of additional housing parts.
