An adjustable and reusable electrical assembly has an electrical unit, such as a plug unit or light unit, configured to engage with a cable. The electrical unit has a body that defines a channel connecting opposite pass-through openings. A first contact member and a second contact member are positioned with at least a portion in the body, each contact member having a piercing member. The cable is engageable with the plug unit extending through the channel with one piercing member in conductive contact with one wire and the other piercing member in conductive contact with the other wire. The cable can be disengaged from the plug unit and re-engaged at a different transverse position to change the length of the assembly.

A universal serial includes a main body including a plurality of USB (Universal Serial Bus) terminals disposed on a circumference of an upper and a side surface of a housing, a storage portion that is buried inside an interior trim to accommodate the main body in an inner space and a cable that electrically connects a power supply and the main body, and wherein the main body is used in a state connected to the storage portion or moved to a state separated from the storage portion and connected to at least one smart device through the plurality of USB terminals.

A power supply is provided. The power supply includes a case, an electrical connector and a LED. The case includes a first side wall including an extension part. The extension part is extended from the first side wall toward a second side wall and has an aperture. Portion of the electrical connector is disposed in an accommodation space through an opening and includes a first base and a contacting ring. The first base is disposed in the accommodation space. The contacting ring is disposed on an exterior of the accommodation space. The LED is disposed in the aperture and includes a second base and a lens disposed on the second base. The second base and the contacting ring are located on different surfaces. The lens and portion of the second base are exposed from the opening. The other portion of the second base is covered by the contacting ring.

A dimmable tamper resistant nightlight may include a body comprising at least one light emitting diode (LED). Plug blades may extend from the body. A dimming switch may be coupled to the at last one LED, the dimming switch configured to move between a first position that activates about 50% luminosity of the at least one LED, a second position that deactivates about 100% luminosity of the at least one LED, and a third position that activates about 100% luminosity of the at least one LED. A housing may be coupled to the body, the housing comprising an access opening through which the dimming switch may be moved among the first position, the second position, and the third position. A housing may also comprise a locking element configured to prevent the dimmable tamper resistant nightlight from being removed from the electrical receptacle.

The present invention discloses an enhanced design of USB plug device which is universal in nature. It indicates the biological or non-biological body is properly grounded by using indicator lights. The proposed assembly is easy to use, compact, safe and maintain its effectiveness over longer period of time.

A variety of active cover plate configurations with prongs configured to contact side screw terminals of electrical receptacles are described. In one illustrative embodiment, an active cover plate includes a multi-gang face plate configured to be installed over a multi-gang light switch installation, the multi-gang faceplate including at least two apertures sized to accept a manually manipulatable element of switches in the multi-gang light switch installation. Prongs extend rearward from the multi-gang faceplate around at least one of the apertures.

A connector assembly for connecting a first electrical component to a second electrical component includes a circuit board which is electrically conductively connectable to the first electrical component. A plug unit is electrically conductively couplable, at a plug end, to a mating plug unit and is disposed on a first side of the circuit board. A light source is disposed on a second side of the circuit board opposite the first side. A light guide has an in-coupling region and an out-coupling region, and a through-hole in which the plug end of the plug unit is at least partially disposed. The light guide also has a light injection opening in which the light source is at least partially disposed. The in-coupling region is disposed on a side wall of the light injection opening, and the out-coupling region surrounds the through-hole.

Disclosed are network cable connectors with components such as switches, displays, and printed circuit with controllers. The disclosed network cable connector may be connected to a power over Ethernet (POE) power sourcing equipment (PSE). The printed circuit of the cable connector may request power for the display from the PSE. The switch of the cable connector may be operated such that at least one component of the printed circuit is disconnected from the PSE when an external powered device (PD) is connected to the cable connector. Disconnecting components of the printed circuit from the PSE may reduce the interference to the power negotiation between the PSE and external PD.

A power sensing and indication circuit includes a first device connector for charging a first device and having a first pin and a second pin, the first pin of the first device connector being connected to an output voltage port of a controller. The power sensing and indication circuit includes a first amplifier. The first amplifier has an inverting input port, a non-inverting input port and an output port. The power sensing and indication circuit includes a first set of multiple photodiodes for emitting light of a first color and a second set of multiple photodiodes for emitting light of a second color. The power sensing and indication circuit includes at least one of a transistor or a digital circuit to cause the first set of multiple diodes to emit light of the first color or the second set of multiple photodiodes to emit light of the second color.

An electrical pin and sleeve device is disclosed. The pin and sleeve device incorporating one or more features to facilitate easier assembly and use. For example, the pin and sleeve device may include one or more indicators (e.g., LEDs) mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) for providing power supply indication, and/or status or fault notification. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the PCB may be adapted and configured to be inserted into one or more slots formed in the contact carrier and/or the body member of the device. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the PCB may receive electrical power via clips coupled to electrical wires or leads, the clips electrically contacting the pins and/or sleeves of the device.
