The interface contacts and the board termination contacts are mounted to the internal circuit board to electrically connect the interface contacts and the board termination contacts through the internal circuit board. Each of surface mount tail ends of the board termination contacts has a bent portion that defines a mounting surface configured to be surface mounted to a mounting face of a main circuit board, to establish an electrical connection between the board termination contacts and the main circuit board.

A socket with a night light function includes a housing, a connecting unit and a light emitting unit. The housing includes a base, a transmitting light member and a cover. The transmitting light member is sandwiched between the base and the cover. The connecting unit is disposed in the housing and is electrically connected to a plug. The light emitting unit includes a light emitting element disposed in the base, a photosensitive switch, a touch switch and a controller. The light emitting element, the photosensitive switch and the touch switch are all in signal connection with the controller. The photosensitive switch collaborates with the touch switch to control the operation of the light emitting element; the light intensity around the socket is increased by means of the light emitting element and the transmitting light member. The socket is convenient to use and has multiple functions.

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a connector plug for attachment to a single pair Ethernet cable comprising a pair of conductors, and configured for being received in a connector receptacle. The connector plug includes a first end for receiving the single pair Ethernet cable and a second end having a pair of contacts, each of the contacts comprising a receptacle contact interface, a conductor interface, and an extension to provide an increased width between conductor gripping prongs at the conductor interface while maintaining a consistent spacing between the pair of contacts at the receptacle contact interface with connector plugs configured to mate with different gauge cables. The connector plug comprises a latch for secure attachment to the receptacle and a pull cord connected to the latch and accessible when the connector plug is inserted into the receptacle with other connector plugs for release of the connector plug.

An electrical outlet may be stored (e.g., stocked at a manufacturer and/or a warehouse) in a bulk form and may be constructed to have a desired color, finish, and/or material prior to shipment to a customer. The outlet may comprise a rear bezel portion having a front surface with openings configured to receive blades of a plug of an electrical device for electrically connecting the electrical device to a power source and a front bezel portion configured to be mounted over the rear bezel portion. The rear bezel portion may have openings aligned with the respective openings of the rear bezel portion for receiving the blades of the plug. In addition, the electrical outlet may have a temporary bezel when stocked at the manufacturer and/or the warehouse. The temporary bezel may be removed from the outlet and a permanent bezel may be installed on the outlet prior to shipment.

An electronic cable of the type having a plurality of electrical leads extending between an electronic signal interface connector assembly at each end thereof is provided wherein each electronic signal connector assembly comprises an electronic signal connector having a plurality of signal contacts within a grounding sleeve, each electrical lead being connected to a signal contact. A backshell supports the electronic signal connector extending therefrom. A lens extends about the periphery of the backshell and is affixed thereto. A light emitting diode within the backshell is electrically connected between a power lead and a ground lead and is further oriented to emit light at the lens when energized.

A charging gun is applicable to a charger station. The charging gun includes a charging gun body and a charge state display apparatus. The charge state display apparatus includes a charge state sensor, a display light module, and a controller. The charge state sensor is configured to sense a charge state of the charger station. The display light module is arranged on the charging gun body. The display light module includes a first light-emitting element, a second light-emitting element, and a third light-emitting element. The controller is electrically connected to the charge state sensor and the display light module. The controller is configured to control the first light-emitting element, the second light-emitting element, or the third light-emitting element to emit light according to the charge state.
