An electric vehicle charger for charging a vehicle has a housing. A holster is fixedly attached to the housing having a latch partition and a plug partition. The plug partition houses a plug latch. A plug having a male charging connector is inserted into the hosung, where a spring-loaded latch positioned on a male charging connector engages and disengages the plug latch. The plug partition has a curvature that allows the plug to be inserted into the holster at an angle for engaging the spring-loaded latch with the plug latch. The spring-loaded latch disengages from the plug latch by a radial movement along the path of the curvature.

A safety plug for an electrical outlet, including an electrically nonconductive plug body. An adapter is removably coupled to a first end of the electrically nonconductive plug body. The adapter includes a set of pins. The set of pins correspond to a set of pin connector slots associated with an electrical outlet. The safety plug is a dummy plug configured to keep the electrical outlet covered to protect from electrical discharge.

Appliances comprising a base unit and a plug connector coupled to the base unit. The plug connector is configured to electrically couple the appliance to a first socket connector of an electrical receptacle. A channel is formed on or in a first sidewall of the base unit. The plug connector is disposed in the channel when in an engaged position. A defines a channel wall of the channel. The lever is configured to facilitate a transition of the plug connector between the engaged position and a disengaged position. The lever engages the plug connector when in the engaged position and does not engage the plug connector when in the disengaged position.

A mounting plate for an electrical outlet includes a central region having a front surface, a rear surface, and an opening for accessing an outlet. A first mounting tab and a second mounting tab extend from the central region at an angle. The mounting plate may be used to attach an outlet to an outlet housing having a wiring compartment and a panel at least partially enclosing the wiring compartment. The panel has a front wall and an opening for receiving an outlet.

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 swivel mount assembly for rotational mounting of an electronic device includes an insertable part to be inserted into an opening in a structure and a lip part. A securing body secures the assembly body to a surface of the structure. A rotatable body includes another insertable part to be inserted into an opening in the insertable part of the assembly body, a plate part, side walls with at least one side aperture, at least one roller disposed in at least one opening in the plate part, a platform part disposed at an opposing end of the sidewalls to support the electronic device, and a hold/release mechanism disposed between the plate part and the platform part to hold the cable and prevent it movement when in a first setting and to release the cable and permit its movement when in a second setting.

Systems, methods, and devices are provided in which cord storage cartridges are removably connected to a power distribution unit (PDU). The cord storage cartridge may include a cartridge housing having at least one aperture, a PDU interface associated with the cartridge housing and configured to removably connect the cord storage device to a mateable interface of the PDU, and a power output cord having a proximal end in electrical communication with the PDU interface and a distal end coupled with an output connector that is configured to connect to electronic equipment. The power output cord may be stowed at least partially within the cartridge housing in a retracted state and moveable through the at least one aperture to an extended state at least partially external to the cartridge housing.

Provided is a connection housing including a first plate having a connecting member for slidably connecting the first plate to an electrical assembly. The first plate includes a ridge portion formed across a threading path. A second plate has an opening for non-slidably connecting the second plate to the electrical assembly. The second plate includes a valley portion positioned in opposing relation to the ridge portion. The first and second plates are configured for (i) facilitating placement of a wire along the threading path and (ii) folding onto each other to restrict movement of the wire after the folding.
