A wall-mounted electrical-connector-engaging assembly for axial engagement with an electrical connector, the assembly including (a) a wall-surface adapter having front and back faces and attached to a wall over an opening in the wall and (b) a backcap. The adapter back face has a plurality of wire-connection points for installation of a corresponding plurality of wires, and the adapter front face has a plurality of slidably-engaging electrical connection points for engagement in at least an axial direction with the electrical connector. The backcap surrounds the plurality of wire-connection points and adjacent portions of the corresponding plurality of wires connected thereto, and includes a twist lock for installation on the wall-surface adapter.

The present invention discloses a smart electrical socket device enabling the detection of the temperature of the room in which it is installed; the device comprising a housing (1) essentially of a rectangular parallelepiped shape, where the front surface presents a female connection (6) enabling an external element (13) to be plugged in, and the rear surface includes pins (11) for the connection thereof to a power source; further incorporating a temperature module comprising a temperature sensor (2) disposed at the lower part of the internal metallic structure (10) and cut-outs (2.1) in the printed circuit board (PCB) (20) to isolate the heat produced by said board; a power consumption sensor circuit (4) disposed facing the printed circuit board (PCB) (20) and opposite the temperature sensor (2); a load actuator comprised of at least one relay; a power source (14); and a wireless communication module (5) disposed on the internal structure (PCB) (10).

A socket, connectable to a plug-in device, wherein the plug-in device is a bushing and/or a plug-in cable termination, is described. The socket includes a current conduction path and a field control unit. The field control unit includes a layer arrangement with at least three conductive layers arranged around the current conduction path and separated by an insulating material

An electrical outlet cover includes a body portion resembling a body portion of a vertebrate or invertebrate creature. The body portion comprising a plurality of recesses and a plurality of couplers. One or more limbs and/or a head and/or a tail are configured to be removably coupled at the recesses and releasably secured thereto using one or more of the couplers. At least one of the recesses may not be coupled with a limb, head or tail, and may allow a cord of a plug, plugged into an electrical outlet covered by the electrical outlet cover, to extend through the recess. Through-holes or other mounting mechanisms are configured to allow mounting of the limbs with a wall such that the electrical outlet cover can be secured over the electrical outlet. In implementations the outlet cover cannot be removed, once secured to a wall, without unscrewing the legs from the wall.

An electrical household appliance includes electrical contacts. The electrical household appliance includes accesses to the electrical contacts for establishing an electrical plug connection.

Here presented is a series of Direct Connect Unifying Electrical Interface (UEI) based Cartridges (DC-Cartridges) or (DC-Outlets) created to deliver DC electricity originating from a DC-Homegrid System or any independent DC source. They offer a pathway for higher level DC delivery into a building. The DC-Cartridge series is constructed to unmistakably and easily be distinguished between other power delivery outlet formats used in other AC or DC arrangements. This series of cartridges is designed to offer higher DC power level output to a connected device as used in a home, commercial, and industrial applications. This would facilitate the integration of alternative energy supplies in the DC format for heavy load equipment, essential for the DC infrastructure of the future. The DC Cartridges can deliver power levels similar in fashion to the existing AC connectivity. Following in the standard set by the AC infrastructure, various DC levels are offered. A DC cartridge is offered to differentiate between each power level. Nomenclatures such as DCL, DCM and DCH are introduced to distinguish the various cartridge types and levels to set each apart from the other in the DC-Cartridge UEI based family.
