A power transfer system to facilitate the transfer of electrical power between tree trunk sections of an artificial tree is disclosed. The power transfer system can advantageously enable neighboring tree trunk sections to be electrically connected without the need to rotationally align the tree trunk sections. Power distribution subsystems can be disposed within the trunk sections. The power distribution subsystems can comprise a male end, a female end, or both. The male ends can have prongs and the female ends can have voids. The prongs can be inserted into the voids to electrically connect the power distribution subsystems of neighboring tree trunk sections. In some embodiments, the prongs and voids are designed so that the prongs of one power distribution subsystem can engage the voids of another power distribution subsystem without the need to rotationally align the tree trunk sections.

A loadbreak bushing including a housing with a bore extending along the longitudinal axis from a first end of the housing toward a second end of the housing. The bore has a first end positioned at or adjacent the first end of the housing and a second end opposite the first end of the bore. A first electrical contact is positioned within the bore adjacent the second end and is configured to be in electrical communication with an electrical component. The first electrical contact is configured to be physically and electrically coupled to a second electrical contact of a power connection. An arc quenching member is positioned within the bore between the first end of the bore and the first electrical contact. A resistive member is coupled to either the first electrical contact or the arc quenching member.

An apparatus, consisting of two adapter(s) connected to each end of a multi conductor power cord; by way a female adapter(s), that is connected to one end of the multi conductor power cord, connects to a conventional cordless power tool and the other male adapter(s), that is connected to the other end of the same multi conductor power cord, connects to a conventional battery pack; creating an extension between the cordless power tool and the battery pack, allowing the user to house the battery pack in a tool belt, or any other location the user may find convenient other than directly connected to the cordless power tool, so the weight and bulk of the battery is no longer in the user's hand; by way a larger sized battery pack can be used that holds more of a charge than a smaller battery pack, which makes the cordless power tool more powerful, longer lasting, and more efficient, while being much lighter and less cumbersome for the user to manage.

An electrical contact suitable for use within data connectivity applications in which both power and data are conveyed over the same pair of conductors is configured with a staggered profile geometry that isolates the location of high-current disconnects while maintaining a surface that remains free of electrical arcing and erosion. The electrical contact is designed with two points of contact, and the staggered geometry ensures that only one of the two points of contact is exposed to electrical arcing when the connector is disconnected while under power, thereby protecting the other point of contact from arc-related surface damage.

An electrical connector includes a housing having a first opening to receive a first wire and a second opening to receive a second wire, a first contact within a volume of the housing to electrically connect the first wire to the second wire, such that the first contact includes a first contact tine and a second contact tine, and a second contact within the volume of the housing to electrically connect the first wire to the second wire, such that the second contact includes a third contact tine and a fourth contact tine. The first contact tine is biased towards the third contact tine to receive the first wire and the second contact tine is biased towards the fourth contact tine to receive the second wire.

A tamper resistant nightlight for placement in an electrical receptacle, the nightlight includes a body that has a base with an LED circuit and plug blades extending from the body. A housing includes a locking element configured to restrict a child from removing the nightlight from the electrical receptacle through a flange that extends away from the body to be positioned behind a rear surface of an electrical wall plate associated with the electrical receptacle to prevent the tamper resistant nightlight from being removed from the electrical receptacle while the electrical wall plate is coupled to the electrical receptacle.

A multimedia connector cable having a cable encasing a plurality of optical fibers. The cable having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end having an electrical connector in optical communication with the plurality of optical fibers. The distal end having an optical connector in optical communication with the plurality of optical fibers.
