  • Patent number: 11588256
    Abstract: A power input terminal block includes terminals received in terminal channels of a housing each having a main body defining a wire pocket receiving a supply wire and a take-off tab electrically connected to the main body. The power input terminal block includes clamp contacts coupled to the take-off tabs each having a base, a spring beam extending from the base, and a cap extending from the spring beam having a poke-in window configured to receive a take-off wire. An edge defining the poke-in window engages the take-off wire and pulls the take-off wire against the wire side of the take-off tab. The power input terminal block includes release levers coupled to the housing to move the spring beam to an extended position to allow loading and removal of the take-off wire from the clamp contact and the take-off tab.

  • Patent number: 10670245
    Abstract: A light sensor assembly includes a sensor connector configured to be coupled to a receptacle connector mounted to a light fixture. The sensor connector includes a housing having a top and a bottom defining a mating interface configured to be mated to the receptacle connector. The housing has a sealed cavity including a first sensor component in the sealed cavity sensing an environmental characteristic exterior of the sensor connector. The sensor connector includes power contacts held by the housing and extending from the bottom for electrical connection with receptacle power contacts of the receptacle connector. The sensor connector includes a lid assembly at the top of the housing. The lid assembly has a lid defining an unsealed cavity allowing airflow through the unsealed cavity. The lid assembly has a second sensor component in the unsealed cavity sensing an environmental characteristic exterior of the sensor connector.
