Power receptacle

Abstract

A power receptacle for supplying power to a plug inserted therein includes a shell, which includes a cover assembly having at least one socket on its exterior adapted to receive the plug, and a base cooperating with and coupled to the cover assembly; an electrical connection assembly, disposed within the shell, and configured to electrically connect to the plug which is inserted into the socket; a PCB (printed circuit board) assembly, disposed within the shell, including a power processing circuit, and electrically coupled to the electrical connection assembly; and a grounding frame, formed of metal, and partially disposed between the electrical connection assembly and the PCB assembly. The structure improves heat dissipation from interior components of the receptacle and its electromagnetic compatibility.
