Assemblies for Selectable Mounting of Power Input Cables and Related Systems and Methods
First Claim
1. An electrical device assembly comprising:
- an electrical device including an end portion having a cavity with a mounting surface at a distal portion of the cavity;
a power input member including a body and a power input cable extending from the body, the body having a plurality of faces including first and second mounting faces;
wherein the cavity is sized and configured to receive the power input member body;
in a first position with the first mounting face facing the mounting surface and with the power input cable extending away from the electrical device in a first direction; and
in a second position with the second mounting face facing the mounting surface and with the power input cable extending away from the electrical device in a second direction that is different from the first direction.

Abstract
An electrical device assembly includes an electrical device and a power input member. The electrical device includes an end portion having a cavity with a mounting surface at a distal portion of the cavity. The power input member includes a body and a power input cable extending from the body. The body has a plurality of faces including first and second mounting faces. The cavity is sized and configured to receive the power input member body: in a first position with the first mounting face facing the mounting surface and with the power input cable extending away from the electrical device in a first direction; and in a second position with the second mounting face facing the mounting surface and with the power input cable extending away from the electrical device in a second direction that is different from the first direction.
