Low voltage power receptacle
First Claim
1. A low voltage power receptacle assembly comprising:
- a housing defining a power output opening and a pair of elongate supports disposed along respective interior surfaces of said housing;
a base plate having opposite side edge regions;
a circuit subassembly that is operable to transform a line voltage input to a lower voltage output; and
a low voltage power output receptacle coupled to said base plate and accessible through said power output opening, wherein said low voltage power output receptacle is in electrical communication with said circuit subassembly;
wherein said low voltage power output receptacle is mountable in said housing via sliding engagement of said opposite side regions of said base plate with respective ones of said elongate supports.

Abstract
A low voltage power receptacle assembly is adapted for providing access to low voltage power in compact spaces. The low voltage power receptacle assembly includes a circuit subassembly that is operable to transform a line voltage input, such as about 110V to 220V AC, to a lower voltage output, such as about 2V to 12V DC. Electrical input conductors receive and convey the line voltage from a power source to the circuit subassembly, while electrical output conductors convey the lower voltage output from the circuit subassembly to a low voltage power receptacle that may be spaced some distance from the circuit subassembly. The low voltage power receptacle is mountable in different housings, faceplates, and the like, to accommodate different mounting styles and locations.
