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.

A multi-position conversion device and a conversion socket with the multi-position conversion device; the first pin, the second pin, the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet are installed together onto the main frame to modularize and integrate the conversion device; therefore, only one main frame is needed to complete the installation of the first pin, the second pin, the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet, and this can effectively decrease the volume of the multi-position conversion device and thus decrease the volume and weight of the whole conversion socket, prevent the conversion socket from sagging due to gravity and thus increase the corresponding user experience and safety; meanwhile, after being modularized, the multi-position conversion device is installed directly into the housing and thus can decrease the assembling steps, reduce the assembling difficulty and finally improve the assembling efficiency.

Each of the second terminal members comprises a plurality of second elastic contacting parts. The plurality of second elastic contacting parts correspondingly abut against the plurality of first elastic contacting parts. The fixing component fixes the pair of the first terminal members and the pair of the second terminal members. A cable is directly connected to each of the cable connecting parts.

A split housing connector assembly provides integrated terminal position assurance and an independent secondary lock and includes a nosepiece and a rear housing. In a pre-lock configuration, a plurality of wire terminal bays are aligned to allow insertion of wire terminals and wherein in a locked configuration the rear housing is displaced relative to the nosepiece offsetting the wire terminal bays and blocking removal of the wire terminals. The rear housing engages the nosepiece along a cam track to guide relative movement during assembly.
