The present disclosure provides cam activated wire termination assemblies for electrical wiring devices. The electrical wiring devices include a cover and a base. The base has a wire chamber supporting a wire termination assembly. The wire termination assembly includes a wire fastening member and a conductive member. The wire fastening member has a cam surface and is rotatable between an open position and a securing position. The conductive member is positioned in close proximity to the wire fastening member such that a gap is provided between the wire fastening member and the conductive member when the wire fastening member is in the open position. When the wire fastening member is rotated from the open position to the securing position, the cam surface rotates to reduce the size of the gap between the wire fastening member and the conductive member.

An adapter, including a socket body, a guiding body, a movable conducting strip and a control member. The guiding body and the movable conducting strip are both disposed on one side of the socket body facing away from jacks, the control member is connected to the movable conducting strip in a transmission fashion, and is configured to drive the movable conducting strip to rotate relative to the socket body.

A socket structure is provided and includes a circuit board, an insulating base, a pin and a conductive component. The insulating base is disposed on the circuit board and includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The pin is disposed between the first side and the second side. The conductive component is connected between the circuit board and the insulating base and includes a first arm, a second arm and a connecting part. The first arm and the second arm are connected to each other through the connecting part. The first arm is fixed on the second side of the insulating base and connected to the pin and includes a first fixing end connected to the circuit board. The second arm includes a second fixing end connected to the circuit board.

Electrical wiring devices that incorporate clamp-type wire terminal connections are described. The electrical wiring devices include for example, single and duplex blade-type electrical receptacles, blade-type locking electrical receptacles, single or multi-pole electrical switches, combination switches and blade-type receptacles, blade-type plugs for electrical cords and blade-type connectors for electrical cords. The electrical wiring devices include a plurality of contact assemblies. Each contact assembly includes a wire terminal having a wire manager and a plunger.

A modular electrical wiring assembly allowing for quick installation and replacement of outlets, switches, and the like includes a bracket, a receptacle, and an interface element. The bracket is mountable to a structural element so that the bracket is recessed from an outer surface of the structural element. The receptacle is selectively mountable to the bracket and is operationally engageable to an electrical circuit. An interface element is selectively mountable to the receptacle so that the interface element is operationally engaged to the electrical circuit. The interface element, such as an outlet, a switch, and the like, can be readily installed and replaced.

A power receptacle assembly includes a base unit which includes a housing. The housing includes a bottom housing, a housing cover coupled to the bottom housing and first and second end caps coupled to the bottom housing and the housing cover. The bottom housing, the housing cover, and the first and second end caps define a housing interior. The base unit also includes a constant voltage driver disposed within the housing interior. Additionally, the power receptacle assembly includes a plurality of power receptacles electronically coupled to the constant voltage driver though the housing. The power receptacle assembly also a secondary unit including a housing defining an interior, a sled coupled to another power receptacle configured to be disposed within the housing interior and a clamp.

A conductor connection terminal with an insulating material housing having a conductor insertion opening for inserting an electrical conductor in a conductor insertion direction, with a busbar and a clamping spring, wherein the clamping spring has a clamping leg and wherein the clamping leg and the busbar form a clamping point for the electrical conductor to be clamped. The insulating material housing has a base side, wherein the base side is arranged adjacent to the side of the busbar facing away from the clamping point and wherein the base side has an opening, wherein on the side of the busbar facing away from the clamping point, two contact tabs protrude from the busbar, wherein the contact tabs are designed to contact a second electrical conductor between the contact tabs, wherein the second electrical conductor can be led through the opening of the base side between the contact tabs.

Embodiments of an electrical outlet of the present invention generally include one or more sockets which include, in addition to positive, negative, and optionally, grounding electrical connections, at least one coupling/communication component, wherein AC electrical current flows through the outlet only when a plug comprising a complementary coupling/communication component is engaged with the socket, whereby the proximity of the coupling/communication component and the complementary coupling/communication component actuates the outlet to provide electrical current therethrough. In one embodiment, in lieu of a complementary coupling/communication component, a wireless transmission device is used to send a signal to the coupling/communication component to actuate the outlet. In other embodiments, an electrical outlet of the present invention includes a mechanism for maintaining engagement between the outlet and a receptacle/plug that provides for safe disengagement when they are inadvertently separated. Embodiments of a method of using embodiments of apparatuses of the present invention are also provided.
