    Abstract: A blind-mate power charging station includes a receptacle, a base, and electrical circuitry. The receptacle includes a receptacle housing, an inner housing, and electrical contacts. The receptacle housing includes a pair of outer extensions, each outer extension tapering toward an outer extension tip. The inner housing is held within the receptacle housing and includes inner extensions forming parallel slots between pairs of inner extensions. Each electrical contact is held in one of the parallel slots by a pair of the inner extensions. The base receives the receptacle and mounts the receptacle to a stationary surface. The electrical circuitry couples the electrical contacts to an electricity source. The receptacle is shaped to receive a plug including a plug head and at least two prongs. Each prong engages one of the electrical contacts such that the receptacle provides electricity to the plug.
