Patent ID: 8498098

Claim:
An apparatus for removably receiving a voltage converting device, comprising: a housing ( 20 ) having a recessed receptacle, said recessed receptacle including a rear wall ( 22 ) and sidewall structure ( 24 ) extending upwardly from said rear wall ( 22 ) and generally defining a receptacle opening; a first high voltage contact, a second high voltage contact, a first low voltage contact and a second low voltage contact all within said receptacle; a first high voltage lead fixedly electrically coupled to said first high voltage contact and extending from said housing ( 20 ), a second high voltage lead fixedly electrically coupled to said second high voltage contact and extending from said housing ( 20 ), a first low voltage lead fixedly electrically coupled to said first low voltage contact and extending from said housing ( 20 ), and a second low voltage lead fixedly electrically coupled to said second low voltage contact and extending from said housing ( 20 ); at least one positioning structure ( 30 A, 32 ) within said receptacle, said at least one positioning structure ( 30 A, 32 ) only enabling receipt of said voltage converting device within said receptacle in a predefined orientation range; wherein said positioning structure ( 30 A, 32 ) prevents contact between contacts of said voltage converting device and any of said first high voltage contact, said second high voltage contact, said first low voltage contact, and said second low voltage contact unless said voltage converting device is in said orientation range; and wherein said apparatus enables removable receipt of said voltage converting device.
