Motor vehicle plastic panel having an integral electrical unit
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.
Connection member for an electronic device
An electronic device may include: a printed circuit board (PCB); a plurality of electronic components electrically connected to the PCB; and a connection member comprising a first portion fixed to one of the PCB and an electronic component and a second portion magnetically connected to the other one of the PCB and the electronic component. The second portion of the connection member may be moveably connected to the first portion. The connection member may further include a stopper, and may be designed to minimize the repulsive force provided by the connection member when excessive pressure is applied to the electronic device.
Standing structure for shell of extension cord
A standing structure for a shell of an extension cord is provided. Intercalating trenches are disposed on rear edges of a pair of opposite surfaces of the shell of the extension cord. A support frame includes a horizontally-disposed bottom plate and a vertically-disposed support plate connecting the bottom plate and having two intercalating strips intercalated into the intercalating trenches. Thus, the shell of the extension cord can be combined with the support frame to form the standing structure. The planar surface, not combined with the shell of the extension cord, of the support plate thus can face to a user for hiding power outlets and power cables plugged into the power outlets.
Connector with integrated heat sink
A receptacle connector defines a port. The port is provided with spring fingers that are configured to engage a mating module. The spring fingers are thermally coupled to a heat transfer plate that can be configured to provide part of a cage that defines the port. Fins can be mounted on or integrated into the heat transfer plate. In operation, thermal energy from an inserted module is transferred from the module to spring fingers and then to the heat transfer plate and then to a thermal dissipation system.
Rotatable plug structure for power adapter
A rotatable plug structure for a power adapter includes a carrying base, two conductive terminals and a plug. The carrying base includes a first installation slot, a second installation slot and a channel connected between the two. The conductive terminals are secured onto the first and second installation slots; the conductive terminals include a main body, a wiring portion and a clamping member. The clamping member includes a pair of metal slats bent from the main body and extended to taper toward each other. The plug is rotatably installed on the carrying base and the conductive terminal; the plug includes a pivotal axle, a pair of insertion pins and a conductive connecting end. The plug swings freely about the pivotal axle between a deployed state and a retracted state; thereby, the conductive connecting ends are clamped by the clamping member or disengaged therefrom to overcome the improper contact problem.

Junction box and plug-ins
A junction box assembly is presented. The junction box has a top side, left side, right side, bottom side and rear side which define a space therein. The junction box assembly also features a plurality of openings within at least one of the sides. An interface is disposed within the junction box assembly and has a plurality of connectors disposed thereon, the interface capable of receiving a wire through said at least one opening and wherein said wire is capable of being placed in electrical and mechanical communication with at least one of the connectors. The junction box assembly is capable of receiving a plug-in inserted therein and providing electrical communication between the wire and the plug-in through said at least one of the connectors.
Adapter security keychain
A adapter security system adapted to be attached to a cable is taught. The adapter security system includes a wire, at least one adapter that is carried by the wire, and a clamping assembly that is adapted to attach the wire to the cable. The adapter security system provides a means of securing adapters at the location of a presentation while also providing convenient access for the user to the adapters.

ELECTRONIC OUTLET PLACE HOLDER
A plug in power strip that prevents electricity from traveling to an appliance when not in use is disclosed. The power strip may use either sensor technology or a manually operated switch that when an appliance is unused will be alerted and will prevent electricity from traveling to the appliance, thus not wasting energy. The resulting shut off will save energy, save money and be safer for homeowners. When the user deems it useful to begin using the appliance once again, the plug in power strip will re-open the channel to let electricity back into that specific appliance. Therefore, the plug in power strip of the present invention keeps optimally keeps appliances running, but does not waste electricity.
