  • Publication number: 20150280365
    Abstract: An electrical plug having an extraction component that may be collapsed to decrease the profile of the plug and may be retracted to increase the profile of the plug. Increasing the profile of the plug increases the graspable area of the plug, making it easier to extract the plug from an outlet socket. The extraction component may be a slidable cover substantially surrounding a housing holding the pins and wiring of the plug within an overmold. The extraction component may also be a slidable cap connected to a pin bridge surrounded by an overmold. Openings formed within the pin bridge include a stopper that limits the retraction of the extraction component. The extraction components include a number of snap-fit pins that are each inserted into the openings beyond the stoppers, at which point the snap-fit ends of the pins expand and hold pins within the openings.
