ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH ADJUSTABLE TERMINALS
An electrical connector includes a terminal housing. A first terminal is retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing. A second terminal is also retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing. A flexible bus bar is connected to the first terminal and to the second terminal. The first terminal is able to be moved independently of the second terminal.

Fuse cutout cover with extendable roof
In one embodiment, a fuse cutout cover has an integral roof portion. The roof portion covers the energized top of a fuse in a first type of cutout. An attachable roof extension covers the energized top of a fuse in a larger second type of cutout. By having the optional roof extension feature, the same cover may be used with two types of cutouts. The roof extension is connected using a cruxiform connector on the bottom surface of the roof portion that tightly fits into a hole in the roof extension. To prevent an air gap between the cruxiform connector and the hole in the roof extension, the bottom of the hole is sealed. This prevents flashovers through the air gap. As a result, electrical insulation between wildlife and the energized cutout is increased.

Lighting device and luminaire
A tubular LED lighting device (10) comprising an LED, a driver (18) for driving the LED, and an electrical connector (14). The lighting device further comprises a thermally triggered switch (16) for prevention of overheating of the electrical connector. The thermally triggered switch is connected in series between the electrical connector and the driver, and the thermally triggered switch is configured to interrupt current in the event of the temperature of the electrical connector meeting a triggering condition. If a significant degree of arcing occurs the electrical connector will heat up such that the triggering condition will be met and the current flow between the electrical connector and the driver will be interrupted. There is also provided a luminaire (20) comprising the tubular LED lighting device.
Fuse adapter
A fuse adapter assembly includes a fuse adapter having an adapter base. A fuse shroud extends from the adapter base and defines a fuse cavity. An adapter shroud also extends from the adapter base and defines an adapter terminal space. A fuse terminal opening passes through the adapter base between the fuse cavity and the adapter terminal space. A fuse enclosure is located within the fuse cavity and is configured to retain a fuse. The fuse cavity is configured to engage a header and the adapter shroud is configured to engage an electrical connector.
