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.

A stackable connector interface with magnetic retention for electronic devices and accessories can allow power and data to be transferred between one or more stacked connectors. Each interconnected stackable connector includes one or more magnetic elements, which magnetic elements have poles arranged to facilitate mating with other stackable connectors. The magnetic elements provide a magnetic retention force that holds mated connectors in contact with each other. In some embodiments, the connectors include connection detection circuitry for determining whether the connectors are mated with other connectors, thereby allowing the connectors to prevent live contacts from being exposed at an unmated surface of the connectors. In some embodiments, routing circuitry is included to determine how signals should be transferred between the interconnected stackable connectors and/or corresponding devices.

A patch panel assembly mounts in a rack on a side of the rack other than the front side of the rack and other than the back side of the rack and fits within a volume of space not occupied by rack slots of the rack. In some embodiments the patch panel assembly includes brackets that articulate into out of the volume of space in the rack in which the patch panel assembly is mounted to allow access to patch cable connectors coupled in the brackets of the patch panel assembly.

A conductive pin configured for a quick connection system. The conductive pin has a non-conductive head and a conducting shaft with a conductive shaft bottom contact point. Beneath the head are a plurality of conducting contact arms in a X-configuration, each arm at a right angle to the next and separate to an adjacent conducting contact arm. The conducting shaft has a partial non-conductive sheath below the head. Rotating the conducting contact arms to contact points by rotating the conductive pin completes the circuit in the quick connection system.

A retractable wall mounted electrical connector assembly is mounted to an existing electrical wall socket for charging a battery of a hand held device, and includes an adapter plate with adapter openings for alignment with the support openings of the wall socket, and a perimeter support rim. The cord housing includes a perimeter mating rim that fits with the perimeter support rim of the adapter plate, and a lock for connecting the perimeter mating rim of the cord housing to the perimeter support rim of the adapter plate.

The building electrical wiring system includes a component box to attach to a wall frame, and a current plate configured to be mounted at a back of the component box having a plurality of receiving slots corresponding respectively to hot, neutral and ground. A component device, such as a switch, includes internal component circuitry terminating in a plurality of conductor stems to insert into a respective receiving slot of the current plate. An electrical jumper bar includes an insulated conductor extending between opposite ends which include a respective prong for each conductive path and configured to electrically couple the current plate to another current plate associated with another component device.

A plastic panel forming part of a motor vehicle is disclosed having a number of embedded conductors for electrically connecting together an electrical connector and an electrical unit. Parts of the electrical connector and the electrical unit are formed as integral parts of the plastic panel. The electrical connector includes terminals connected to the electrical conductors for co-operation with terminals formed as part of a plug used to connect the conductors to other electrical circuits of the motor vehicle. In one embodiment the electrical unit is in the form of a fuse box having electrical terminals held in position by the plastic panel and in pairs for cooperation with a respective fuse.
