TERMINAL CONNECTION UNIT

A terminal connection unit has a novel structure that enables advantageously absorbing tolerance between positions of a terminal fitting and a connection portion while also ensuring a good state of connection between the terminal fitting and the connection portion. A terminal connection unit includes: a current-carrying member that has a connection portion for connection to a terminal fitting provided at the terminal end of an electric wire; and a support portion that fixedly supports the current-carrying member. The current-carrying member includes a fixing portion that is fixed to the support portion, and an extendable portion that couples the connection portion and the fixing portion to each other and can extend and contract in the first direction. The support portion includes an attachment portion that is attached to the connection portion and is displaceable in a first direction.

Automation compatible spring assisted single part tamper resistant shutter mechanism for wiring device product

A shutter assembly for a tamper-resistant electrical receptacle includes a shutter, a base clip, and a spring. The shutter is coupled at one end by the spring to the rear side of an individual outlet cover of the electrical receptacle, and two multi-sloped blocking mechanisms of the shutter block access to the live electrical terminals from the hot and neutral slots of the outlet cover when a plug is not inserted into the outlet. The shutter comprises a fulcrum that rests on the base clip, which allows one end of the shutter to interlock with divots formed in the rear side of the outlet cover and the other end of the shutter to interlock with the base clip in order to prevent access to the live electrical terminals when an object is inserted into only one of the hot or neutral slots of the individual outlet cover, or when an object is inserted into the outlet cover at a tilted angle.

Power Adapting Device
20230143416 · 2023-05-11 · ·

A power adapting device includes an upper housing, a power conversion module, and a lower housing. The upper housing comprises a first slot and a second slot. A first power adapter interface is disposed at a bottom of the first slot. A second power adapter interface is disposed at a bottom of the second slot. The first power adapter interface conducts an AC power signal to an external device. The second power adapter interface conducts a DC power signal to an external device. The power conversion module converts the AC power signal into the DC power signal and to transmit the converted DC power signal to the second power adapter interface. The lower housing covers the power conversion module with the upper housing. The lower housing includes a cable transfer interface for transmitting the external power supply to the first power adapter interface or the power conversion module.

Powered wall plate with keyed interface

A powered wall plate may include a face plate comprising an opening extending through the face plate from the first surface to the rear surface. A first keyed interface may be formed at the rear surface of the face plate. An electrical receptacle may comprise a second keyed interface configured to be coupled with the first keyed interface, the electrical receptacle further comprising terminals disposed on sides of the electrical receptacle. Spring-biased terminals may be coupled to the face plate and coupled with the terminals. A powered feature may be coupled to the face plate and configured to be electrically coupled to the electrical receptacle through the spring-biased terminals when the first keyed interface and the second keyed interface are mateably coupled. Power may not be supplied from the electrical receptacle to the powered feature when the first keyed interface is not mateably coupled with the second keyed interface.
