A connector configured to be fitted with a mating connector includes a main housing, a sub-housing supported on the main housing to be slidable in a fitting direction with respect to the main housing in which the connector is fitted with the mating connector, and an operating member pivotably and slidably supported on the main housing. The main housing moves closer to the mating connector when the operating member is pivoted from a first posture to a second posture. The sub-housing moves in the fitting direction when the operating member slides from the second posture in a direction different from the fitting direction. The sub-housing has an erroneous fitting prevention part abutting against the mating connector in a state of incomplete fitting of the connector with the mating connector.

A power adapter may include a base wall mounted power adapter configured to be plugged into a wall power outlet and at least one extension adapter unit electrically coupled to the base wall mounted power adapter and configured to be extended away from the wall power outlet. The at least one extension adapter unit may include an electrical conduit reel configured to unravel in response to the at least one extension adapter unit being extended.

A connector device comprises a connector and a mating connector. The connector comprises a housing and a slider having a second regulated portion. The mating connector comprises a mating housing having a second regulation portion. The connector is movable between an open position and a closed position. The slider is held by the housing to be movable between a first position and a second position. When the connector is moved to a predetermined position together with the slider which is located at the second position upon a movement of the connector from the closed position toward the open position, the second regulated portion is brought into abutment with the second regulation portion, and a movement of the connector toward the open position beyond the predetermined position is regulated. When the slider is moved to the first position, the connector is movable to the open position.

A power adapter may include a base wall mounted power adapter configured to be plugged into a wall power outlet and at least one extension adapter unit electrically coupled to the base wall mounted power adapter and configured to be extended away from the wall power outlet. The at least one extension adapter unit may include an electrical conduit reel configured to unravel in response to the at least one extension adapter unit being extended.

Aspects herein are directed to an electrical system enclosure. The electrical system enclosure can include an electrical housing unit that includes one or more electrical components. The electrical system enclosure can further include a receptacle coupled to an outside surface associated with the electrical housing unit. The receptacle may be configured to engage a connector component of a cable. The electrical system enclosure can further include a contactor within the electrical housing unit. The contactor may be configured to energize based at least in part on the receptacle engaging the connector component. The electrical system enclosure may include an energy supply component configured to cause energy to be transmitted through the receptacle and the cable to a device outside of the electrical housing unit based on the contactor energizing.

A power supply assembly includes an input module that includes one or more captive screws, one or more first power supply connection components, and one or more first input feed connection components; and a power supply unit that includes one or more captive screw connection switches, one or more second power supply connection components, and one or more second input feed connection components. The input module is to physically and electrically connect to the power supply unit; the one or more captive screws are to physically engage, respectively, the one or more captive screw connection switches; the one or more first power supply connection components are to physically and electrically connect to, respectively, the one or more second power supply connection components; and the one or more first input feed connection components are to physically and electrically connect to, respectively, the one or more second input feed connection components.

A plug connector includes a plug housing having an outer wall forming a cavity. A portion of the plug connector is configured to be plugged into a header chamber of a header connector to mate plug contacts with corresponding header contacts. The plug connector includes an actuator coupled to the plug housing movable between an open position and a closed position. The actuator is configured to engage the header connector to provide mechanical mating assist of the plug connector with the header connector as the actuator is moved from the open position to the closed position. An eCPA assembly includes a shorting terminal operably coupled to the actuator and movable by the actuator between a mated position and an unmated position configured to be coupled to a first fixed terminal and a second fixed terminal to forms a position assurance circuit.

A power assembly module provides multiple interfaces for accessing a battery. A power input of the power assembly module can receive power from a variety of external sources. Photovoltaic panels, car batteries, or any other suitable DC power source can be used to charge the battery within the power assembly module. A switch provided on a housing of the module allows for activation or deactivation of power delivery from the battery, at outputs of the power assembly module. In some embodiments, the power assembly module includes a single power output that provides power from the battery using a cabled connector. Additionally, the power assembly module includes a power distribution element that provides power from a standard plug outlet for powering certain appliances that receive power using a standardized electric plug terminal.

A device for providing a connection to electrical energy, the device includes an electrical outlet with at least one receptacle, a control circuit and functionality to generate one or more electrical pulses to indicate whether there is an insertion, or a lack of an insertion, into the at least one electrical receptacle. The device can be an in-wall electrical outlet and/or a power-cord based electrical outlet. The device includes a capacitive touch array comprising a plurality of capacitive touch buttons. The capacitive touch buttons control a plurality of function of the at least one receptacle, based on at least a user interaction with the plurality of capacitive touch buttons. The device may also monitor, display and/or transmit a plurality of electrical usage data related to a device powered by the electrical outlet. The functionality of the outlet may also be provided as part of a power cord coupled to a device and inserted into an electrical outlet.

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.
