ELECTRIC DRIVING DEVICE AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DEVICE
Provided is an electric driving device including a first protruding portion protruding from a holder surface. A plate-like portion has an opposed surface opposed to the holder surface. A first through hole in the plate-like portion is defined by a first through hole forming portion formed in a cylindrical shape so as to project from the plate-like portion to a side opposite to the opposed surface. The first through hole has an inner surface including a first hole inclined inner surface and a first hole cylindrical inner surface extending from the first hole inclined inner surface to the end portion of the first through hole forming portion. The first protruding portion is press-fitted into the first through hole under a state in which a plurality of first ribs are in contact with the first hole cylindrical inner surface.
Electrical connection point
An electrical connection point including a functional block that includes a functional faceplate and a rear electrical plug and including a base that includes a housing to receive the functional block in a plugged in position. To reduce the risk of accidental detachment of the functional block, while improving the removable character of its fixing, the electrical connection point includes a lock with a ring that surrounds the functional faceplate and is disposed so as to be accessible from the outside of the housing when the functional block is received in the housing, the ring being rotatable relative to the rear electrical plug between an unlocking position to place the lock in the unlocking configuration and a locking position to place the lock in the locking configuration when the functional block is in the plugged in position.

Receptacle connector for a light sensor assembly for a light fixture
A light sensor assembly includes a receptacle connector configured to be mounted to a light fixture and configured to receive a sensor connector having a photocontrol component including a housing, a spring element and a housing retainer. The housing has a base extending through a fixture housing. The housing has locating features configured to engage a locating feature of the fixture to hold a rotational position of the housing. The housing retainer is positionable on the interior of the fixture housing on the base engaging the spring element. The housing is rotatably positionable on the fixture by lifting upward on the housing to compress the spring element to disengage the locating features of the housing from the locating feature of the fixture and rotating the housing to a new position.
INSTALLATION SYSTEM FOR A CEILING FAN
A ceiling fan includes a fan assembly having a motor housing, a motor positioned within the motor housing and including a drive shaft that defines an axis of rotation, a fan operable to be rotated by the motor, and a first electrical terminal electrically coupled to the motor. The ceiling fan also includes a downrod having a first end adjacent a ceiling and a second end opposite the first end and an installation system coupled to the second end of the downrod. The installation system includes a mounting bracket and an electrical connector coupled to the mounting bracket. The electrical connector includes a rotating terminal with a second electrical terminal that couples to the first electrical terminal to couple the fan assembly to the installation system.

Circular connector and method of retaining components
A circular connector assembly having a plug shell, a coupling ring and a housing and a method of retaining the housing. The plug shell has a flexible insert-receiving retention portion and a flange provided proximate the flexible insert-receiving retention portion. The flexible insert-receiving retention portion has an insert-receiving opening. The coupling ring has an internal threaded portion and an engagement portion. The internal threaded portion is configured to cooperate with the flange. The engagement portion is dimensioned to resiliently deform the flexible insert-receiving retention portion when the engagement portion is provided in contact with the flexible insert-receiving retention portion. The insert is inserted into and maintained in the plug shell by the flexible insert-receiving retention portion.
