Abstract: A wiring device assembly with one or more electrical contacts having respective contact stabilizing assemblies which are operable to rigidly hold the electrical contacts in a device housing. The contact stabilizing assemblies prevent the contacts from becoming displaced within the housing under vibrational, rotational and other stresses. The contact stabilizing assemblies are connected to the electrical contacts and fit in housing channels specifically shaped to accommodate the stabilizing assemblies.

Abstract: A set of grounded and isolated duplex electrical receptacle assemblies includes interchangeable dual female bodies, interchangeable socket bases, interchangeable right, left and middle contact members, and interchangeable support bridges for assembling either a grounded or an isolated receptacle assembly. In the isolated assembly, an insulator plate is fitted between the support bridge and the middle contact member to electrically isolate one from another to thereby prevent electrical engagement therewith.

Abstract: A switched electrical device adapted to be coupled to a complementary locking type electrical connector by initial relative axial movement therebetween and subsequent relative rotational movement therebetween. The switched electrical device includes a housing with an inlet opening for receiving the complementary electrical connector, a rotatable locking type electrical connector with a set of electrical contacts for engaging the electrical contacts of the complementary electrical connector, a switch mounted within the housing for selectively supplying electrical energy to the set of electrical contacts of the electrical connector, an operating handle for moving the switch between "on" and "off" positions, and an interlock mechanism for releasably locking the switch. The interlock mechanism selectively locks the switch in its "off" position so that it cannot move to its "on" position, until after the complementary electrical connector has been inserted into said opening and rotated to a locked position.

Abstract: A first rotatable locking type electrical connector having a polarizing sleeve with a detent and a first set of electrical contacts for electrically engaging a second rotatable locking type electrical connector having a complementary polarizing sleeve with a complementary detent and a second set of electrical contacts. In the preferred embodiments, the polarizing sleeve of the first electrical connectors has at least one key, preferably two keys, while the polarizing sleeve on the second electrical connector has a complementary slot or slots for receiving the key or keys of the first electrical connector. Each of the slot of the second electrical connector is arranged to receive a key of the first electrical connector so that the first and second electrical connectors can be coupled together by initial axial movement and subsequent rotational movement. Preferably, the detents are formed on the keys and within the slots for holding the electrical connectors against unintentional movement.
