  • System for quick-mount electrical components
    Patent number: 9722379
    Abstract: Quick-mount electrical components including a body and a receiver. The body includes a first protrusion, a connecting portion distal the first protrusion, the connecting portion containing a first set of one or more electrical contacts, and a second protrusion proximate the connecting portion. The receiver includes a guide, a wire trap proximate the guide, a receiving portion distal the guide, the receiving portion containing a second set of one or more electrical contacts, and a retainer proximate the receiving portion. The first protrusion has one or more recesses that match corresponding alignment elements on the guide such that the body is keyed to only fit certain receivers, depending upon the electrical characteristics of devices wired to the receiver.
