In the above-mentioned manner, the connector and a heavy load may be disconnected by the switch when the connector is pulled out, so that risks of instant ignition and short circuit caused by the connector pulled out may be avoided, and safety accidents may be reduced.

An electrical connector system for assisting in coupling and unmating electrical connectors. The system generally includes an electromagnet to assist in mating and, alternatively, unmating or uncoupling a first electrical connector with a second electrical connector. The system may include a first electrical connector having a first plurality of contacts, an electromagnet on the first electrical connector adapted to produce a magnetic force, and an input device adapted to receive an input and to provide an output that causes an electrical current to be supplied to the electromagnet. When coupled, the first plurality of electrical contacts are conductively engaged with a second plurality of electrical contacts on the second electrical connector.

A notification system including an outlet and a notification center. The outlet is configured to output a signal indicative of the availability of the outlet. The notification control unit is configured to receive the signal, determine availability of the outlet based on the signal, and output information corresponding to the availability of the outlet to at least one selected from a group consisting of a computer, a smart phone, and a tablet.

An electrical meter quick connect device has a housing with open faces. A first face is configured with connectors to mate to a electrical service panel in a meter connection manner, and a second face is configured with connectors to mate to a meter in an electrical service panel connection manner. First and second set of lines are within the housing, connected from the first face to the second face. A breaker switch is on the housing and coupled to at least one of the first and second set of lines. A third set of lines is connected to the breaker switch and exits a side of the housing, the third set including a ground line. An electrical vehicle charging line is coupled to the third set of lines. The device can be inserted between a meter and electrical service panel to provide an electric vehicle power connection.

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.

An electrical receptacle including an outlet and an electronic process. The outlet is configured to receive an electrical device. The electronic processor is configured to output a signal when the outlet receives the electrical device. Wherein the signal is received by a notification control unit, the notification control unit configured to determine an availability of the electrical outlet based on the signal, and output information corresponding to the availability of the electrical receptacle, wherein the information is included in a map accessed by at least one selected from a group consisting of a computer, a smart phone, and a tablet.

An electrical outlet device and system for providing light and power during the night or during a power failure. The device and system includes rechargeable energy storage devices that can be utilized to provide power to the outlet(s) and the light sources. The device and system can have two sections, a main and a removable section both having their own energy storage devices and light sources. The light sources can be controlled by a control circuit that can utilize one or more switches or sensors to control the activation or deactivation of the light sources and also the transfer of energy from the energy storage devices to the light sources or outlets of the main section. The main section can also have USB and electrical outlets or plugs to allow the device and system to be plugged into an AC or DC power source, and can transfer that energy to the USB and electrical outlets or plugs.

The invention relates to the field of electric vehicles and particularly provides a charging gun. The invention aims to solve the problems that charging guns in different standards have a single function, cannot be reused, and have high research and development and manufacturing costs. To this end, the charging gun of the invention comprises a gun head, a microswitch, and a gun body assembly, wherein the microswitch is disposed on the gun head, the gun body assembly is detachably connected to the gun head, and the gun head is a male gun head or a female gun head. The microswitch is disposed on the gun head, so that the microswitch is separated from the gun body assembly, so as to reuse gun bodies of a charging gun in a Chinese standard and a charging gun in a European standard, that is, the charging gun in the Chinese standard and the charging gun in the European standard can switch between each other only by replacing few components. The charging gun is simple in structure and convenient to assemble, a mold cost is effectively reduced, and research and development and manufacturing costs of the charging gun are reduced.

The contactor rotary connector is provided with a first connector having a first terminal supported by a first mold; and a second connector having a second terminal supported by a second mold. The first connector is provided with a first space block. The second connector is provided with a second space block; a fixed component capable of holding the first mold and the second mold in a coupled state by being rotatably housed in the first space block and the second space block; a contactor capable of contacting the first terminal and the second terminal; and a rotating shaft that integrally couples the contactor and the fixed component, is rotatably supported by one of the first mold and the second mold, and is capable of connecting the first terminal and the second terminal by rotating the contactor.
