A tamper resistant nightlight for placement in an electrical receptacle, the nightlight includes a body that has a base with an LED circuit and plug blades extending from the body. A housing includes a locking element configured to restrict a child from removing the nightlight from the electrical receptacle through a flange that extends away from the body to be positioned behind a rear surface of an electrical wall plate associated with the electrical receptacle to prevent the tamper resistant nightlight from being removed from the electrical receptacle while the electrical wall plate is coupled to the electrical receptacle.

A system for managing charging, the charging management system is provided. The system comprises a charging cord management device, a charging cord connector, a device, a first charging cord, and a second charging cord. The charging cord management device is configured with the second charging cord. The charging cord management device is configured to control the second charging cord and the charging cord connector in a direction of the earth gravitational field from a first altitude to a second altitude without user interaction and wherein the first altitude is different from the second altitude. The charging cord connector is configured to be in contact with an apparatus with a height above ground level.

An apparatus includes an electrical plug insertable into a power outlet of a receptacle, where the electrical plug includes a ground pin with an indent. The apparatus further includes a retention mechanism enclosed by the receptacle includes a rod configured to interact with the indent of the ground pin, where the rod seated within the indent of the ground pin prevents a removal of the electrical plug from the power outlet.

An electrical connector comprises a housing body with a peripheral region and a central region. A hinge support protrudes from the housing body. A curved wall portion extends outward from the central region. A lid has a hollow portion arranged for rotation with respect to the hinge support. A spring or resilient member is configured to bias the lid in a closed state against an electrical socket with one or more electrically conductive terminals in an interior of the electrical socket. A slider is arranged to slide radially along the curved wall portion between an open position and a closed position, where the closed position holds the lid in the closed state and where the open position allows the lid to be rotationally raised or flipped upward.

A power cord slide connector coupling includes a power cord, a low-profile connector coupled with the power cord, a receptacle including a housing with a concave opening sized to receive the low-profile connector in an insert direction, and a plug disposed in the receptacle and configured to electrically engage the low-profile connector. The plug includes contact members that are positioned such that with the low-profile connector in the concave opening, the plug engages the low-profile connector by displacing the low profile connector in a connect direction, perpendicular to the insert direction.

Examples of electronic devices and connectors for providing a secure connection are described herein. In an example, an electronic device may securely hold an external device, upon engagement of a connector of the external device in a corresponding port of the electronic device.

A connection assembly of a connector comprises a connection housing, a locking element and a position assurance device. The connection housing is interconnectable with a counter connection housing along a connection axis. The locking element is movable between a locking position fixing the counter connection housing to the connection housing, and a release position releasing the counter connection housing from the connection housing. The position assurance device movable between a disconnection position, in which the position assurance device permits movement of the locking element from the locking position to the release position, and a blocking position, in which the position assurance device fixes the locking element in the locking position. The position assurance device is rotated about the connection axis on the connection housing when moving between the disconnection position and the blocking position.

Provides is an assembly for sealing a juncture of a cable in a wall. The wall includes at least one aperture. The aperture is used for coupling a connector comprised in the cable. A cable end is provided with at least one flange. The flange surrounds at least in part the cable end. The assembly includes at least one strain relief element. The strain relief element is configured, once in a position to cooperate with the wall and the flange, to press, directly or indirectly, the flange against the wall when the connector is coupled while the strain relief element remains attached to the wall, so that the flange surrounds, directly or indirectly, the aperture and prevents, directly or indirectly, any foreign matter from passing the juncture of the cable at the aperture.

An electrical connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector. The first connector has a hood defining a mating opening. The second connector has a housing body configured to be received in the hood, a rear end wall formed continuous with the housing body and projecting outward from the housing body in a circumferential direction, a lock arm configured to prevent disengagement of the first connector and the second connector, and a cover disposed at the rear end wall covering a portion of the lock arm. A front end surface of the rear end wall facing the second connector forms a uniformly continuous flat surface in a region including the cover.

An electrical connector that prevents water from entering the hood of the electrical connector. The electrical connector includes a housing adapted to be mated in a receiving space in a hood of a mating connector. On a top side of the electrical connector in a state where the electrical connector is mated to the mating connector, the housing includes an inclined surface having an inclination angle of more than 90° at a front end of the hood of the mating connector for draining water falling onto the electrical connector.
