  • Patent number: 6644984
    Abstract: A plug assembly having a body portion, a plug housing that provides a mounting for AC prongs that creates a cavity therewithin, and a PCB located in the cavity. A pair of contact terminals are mounted on the PCB in a predetermined position so as to create a spring-loaded electrical contact with a corresponding one of the AC prongs during assembly. The present invention reduces the bulkiness, optimizes the packaging size, and reduces the profile of the plug assembly by using the cavity to house the PCB, thereby providing a reduction or elimination of the need to mount components within the body portion. The present invention eliminates the need to use flexible wires, springs, or direct soldering between the AC prongs and the circuitry on the PCB, thereby making assembly quicker and easier through use of the spring loaded contact terminal.
