Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a socket defining a central cavity and having a plurality of pins arranged inside the central cavity. The electrical connector assembly further includes a plug having a body adapted to extend, at least partially, inside the central cavity and defining a plurality of receptacles to receive the plurality of pins. The plug also includes a cover arranged surrounding, at least partly, the body and adapted to engage with the socket. The cover includes a pair of elongated wings arranged diametrically opposite to each other and directed outwardly and extending along a longitudinal portion of the cover.

Abstract: A portable electric vehicle support equipment (EVSE) unit is formed as a cord of plural insulated conductors and a flexible outer sheath enclosing said plural insulated conductors. The cord includes an EVSE docking connector on a docking end of the cord and a utility plug on a utility end of the cord, said cord being divided into a docking section terminated at said docking connector and a utility section terminated at said utility connector. The cord further includes an in-line EVSE controller and a housing enclosing said controller, said housing sealed with said flexible outer sheath and disposed at an intermediate section of said cord between said docking and utility sections.
