Abstract
A power outlet device (10) including a plastic case (12); ground, neutral and hot conductive strips (30, 28, 26); and a printed circuit board assembly (54) connected to strips (30, 28, 26). The printed circuit board assembly (54), which could include a surge suppressing circuit, is connected to the strips (26, 28, 30) through the use of resilient contacts (58, 60, 56, respectively). Blades (58, 60, 56) extend upward and laterally from the substrate (55) of printed circuit board assembly (54). A bottom cover (14) of case (12) presses against the underside of substrate (55) to urge contacts (56, 58, 60) into resilient conductive contact with the strips (30, 26, 28, respectively). A preferred power outlet device (10) also includes a pair of one-piece sheet metal jumpers (50, 120) which interconnect various components thereof.
