Abstract: An electrical receptacle assemblies and methods for assembling and mounting toolless receptacle assemblies to a housing of a luminaire. The receptacle assembly includes a rotatable receptacle that has an insert portion with an electrical face configured to mate with a photoelectric device and includes an outer ring portion that has a mounting face opposite the electrical face. The mounting face is configured to mount on the housing. A locating mechanism of the receptacle assembly is configured to orient the rotatable receptacle on the housing in a desired direction for optimal positioning of the photoelectric device. A locking base is configured to receive at least a portion of the insert portion. A releasable retention member if configured to couple to the locking base and the insert portion of the rotatable receptacle for securing the receptacle assembly to the housing.

Abstract: A rotatable receptacle and method of assembling and mounting a rotatable receptacle. The receptacle includes an outer ring that has a mounting surface for mounting to a housing, and a rotatable insert that is received in the outer ring. An inner surface of the outer ring surrounds an outer surface of the rotatable insert. The rotatable insert has an electrical face configured to mate with a photoelectric device and an opposite mounting face for mounting to the housing. The rotatable insert is rotatable with respect to the outer ring to orient the rotatable insert in a desired direction for optimal positioning of the photoelectric device. The outer ring and the rotatable insert have corresponding interlocking features configured to fix the rotatable insert in the desired direction.

Abstract: A fastener and method for mounting a connector to a panel, the fastener having an outer sleeve housing having a mount bushing portion and a locking portion with a collapsible end, and an inner pin member received in the outer sleeve housing and axially moveable therein between locked and unlocked positions. The inner pin member has a body with a head end that cooperates with the mount bushing portion of the outer sleeve housing and a locking end that cooperates with the locking portion of the outer sleeve portion. When the inner pin member is in the unlocked position, the collapsible end of the locking portion of the outer sleeve housing is allowed to collapse. When the inner pin member is in the locked position, the locking end of the inner pin member prevents collapse of the collapsible end of the locking portion of the outer sleeve housing.

Abstract: A housing for an electrical contact that includes a unitary one-piece body that has an internal bore that extends between a front end and an opposite rear end of the unitary one-piece body and is adapted to receive the electrical contact. A front holding member extends into the internal bore from an inner surface of the internal bore, and the front holding member is located at the front end of the one-piece body. A rear holding member extends into the internal bore, and is disposed on the inner surface of the internal bore at the rear end of the one-piece body. A contact retaining member receiving area is defined in the internal bore between the front holding member and the rear holding member for capturing a contact retaining member therebetween.

Abstract: A permanent magnet D.C. electric motor 100 includes a motor housing 118 having first and second ends and a generally cylindrical periphery between the ends. The first end 120 is substantially closed and has an end of a shaft 124 extending there from. The first end includes vent holes 16 therein. The second end 122 is substantially open and defines a plurality of ventilation holes 126 in the cylindrical periphery. An end cap 130 closes the second end and covers another end of the shaft. The end cap has a base 132 and a flange 134 extending transversely with respect to the base. The flange is disposed over a portion of the cylindrical periphery of the housing so as to define a gap G there-between such that air may pass through the gap and through the ventilation holes and vent holes to cool the motor, with the end cap inhibiting foreign material from entering the ventilation holes.

Abstract: A permanent magnet D.C. electric motor 36 includes a motor housing 29 having first and second ends. The second end 42 is substantially closed and has an end of a shaft 35 extending there from. The second end includes vent holes 20 therein. The first end 27 is substantially open. An end cap 31 closes the first end of the housing. The end cap 31 has venting holes 34 therein for permitting air to pass there-through to cool the motor. A splash shield 32 is integral with the end cap 31 and covers the venting holes 34 in such a manner to limit foreign matter from entering the venting holes while permitting air to flow through the venting holes.
