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 and a plunger.

A safety adapter assembly includes a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector, a connector body, and a safety sleeve. The connector body is structured to couple the first electrical connector to the second electrical connector. The safety sleeve is substantially surrounding the connector body and configured to move relative to the connector body to selectively allow user access to the first electrical connector while substantially blocking user access to the second electrical connector, or to allow user access to the second electrical connector while substantially blocking user access to the first electrical connector.

A male and female power terminal assembly including a male terminal having a male contact portion including an outer contact surface and an inner surface, and a female terminal having a female contact portion including a sleeve and a finger made of an electrically conductive material. The outer contact surface is electrically connected to an inner surface of the sleeve. Further, the male terminal includes a connecting member made of an electrically conductive material which is placed inside a cylindrical hollow portion of the male terminal, and which interconnects the finger with the inner surface.

The present invention discloses a charging socket lead frame assembly and a charging socket. The charging socket lead frame assembly has a lead frame which has a frame body and an electrical connection structure arranged in the frame body. The lead frame is adapted to be installed in a cavity of a charging socket, and a plurality of terminals of the charging socket are adapted to pass through the frame body. One end of the electrical connection structure is exposed from the frame body to electrically connect with a lead of a temperature sensor. The lead frame is arranged in non-electrical contact with at least one signal terminal of the charging socket. Therefore, the structure of the lead frame can be simplified and the manufacturing difficulty and cost can be reduced.

A terminal includes a top wall, a side wall, and a curved part connected between the top wall and the side wall. A notch is formed on the curved part. The notch reduces a bending force for forming the curved part and prevent cracks from being generated in the curved part during forming the curved part.

A low insertion force contact terminal which has a conductor mating portion, a securing portion and a substrate mating portion. The conductor mating portion is configured to terminate a conductor therein. The securing portion is configured to secure the terminal in a terminal receiving cavity of a housing. The substrate mating portion extends from the securing portion. The substrate mating portion has at least two sections which have curved portions thereon. The at least two sections move independently, which allows the curved portions to exert a normal force on walls of through holes of a substrate to which the contact terminal is mated which is sufficient to provide a stable electrical connection while allowing for a low insertion force.

A connector is provided with a sealing member to be sandwiched between a first housing and a second housing. The sealing member includes a sealing hole penetrating through a sealing body portion in a front-rear direction and a positioning recess formed in a front surface of the sealing body portion. The second housing includes a pre-fitting member and a post-fitting member separate from the pre-fitting member. The pre-fitting member includes a pre-fitting body portion to be arranged in front of the sealing body portion and a positioning projection projecting from a rear surface of the pre-fitting body portion and to be fit into the positioning recess. The post-fitting member includes a peripheral wall portion to be held in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the sealing member.
