The invention regards a plug comprising a housing, a number of connectors and a selector outlet having a movable selector part whereby the configuration of the connectors may be changed when the selector part is moved. The housing may have a triangular cross section defined by a first side A, a second side B and a third side C and where the number of connectors allows for connection of two or more electrical circuits. The invention also relates to a system of plugs and a method of producing the same.

A power plug connector capable of being plugged in both normal and reverse way, comprising an insulator, a soft tongue plate, a plurality of first terminals and second terminals, and a shielding case; by fixing the soft tongue upon the insulator, the front end of the soft tongue being suspended inside the insertion slot; every rear end of the second terminals respectively connected with the corresponding rear ends of the first terminals; When plug normally, the power plug connector can be smoothly plugged-in, and the first terminals contacts the power socket connector; When plug reversely, the soft tongue plate will bend which allows the product to continue inserting, so the multiple terminals can connect the power socket connector and conducts, thereby realizing normal and reverse plug and avoiding wear and damage to the power plug connector.

The present invention is directed to a smart universal technology socket. The technology socket provides for easy installation and connection to an electrical power source. The technology socket is operable to receive hot swappable, modifiable, and upgradable pluggable devices. The technology socket supports pluggable devices with a variety of electrical requirements. The present invention provides a self-retaining technology socket for home, medical, school, and industrial uses.

An electrical receptacle assembly, comprising a housing including a back, a plurality of sides, and a front opening; a face plate attached to the housing; a support flange attached to the housing; at least one electrical outlet attached to one of the plurality of sides; a connection member attached to the back, the connection member including a plurality of openings; and a securing member for releasable engagement with the connection member, the securing member including an engagement tab and an opening for a fastener The electrical receptacle assembly can be secured to a supporting surface in an open position by a combination of fasteners and the securing member.

A plug-in power supply for supplying a consumer with a low voltage and a plug-in power supply which in operation is configured as a power adapter unit with one of its matching interchangeable mains plug units. The power adapter unit comprises a housing; a voltage transformer module for converting a mains voltage into the required low voltage in the housing; an engaging seat, for the plug unit, at an inner side of the power adapter unit to be directed towards a mains socket, the plug unit being slidably connected with the engaging seat; at least two electric contacts in the seat connecting the transformer module with contacts at an inner side of the plug unit directed towards the power adapter unit; and a locking member, at a rear profile of the engaging seat which limits the sliding of the plug unit. The plug unit comprises at least two mains plug pins, extending from an outer side of the plug unit and connected to the contacts at the inner side of the plug unit; safety recesses, for said contacts at the inner side of the plug unit; and a locking structure, comprising a button, for interacting with the locking member so that pressing on the button releases the structure and allows sliding of the plug unit from the engaging seat.

Example implementations relate to a connector with a retainer assembly. For example, an apparatus may include a connector having a housing and a retainer assembly to retain a power plug within the housing. The retainer assembly may retain a first type of power plug within the housing with a first retaining feature using a locking fit and retain a second type of power plug within the housing with a second retaining feature using a friction it.
