Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrical receptacle assembly having an outer body and an inner body. The inner body can include at least one first wall forming a first cavity and at least one resilient element disposed within the cavity proximate to the at least one first wall, where the at least one resilient element has an electrically conductive material. The outer body can be movably disposed within the first cavity, where the outer body can include at least one extension, at least one home slot, and at least one detent positioned between the at least one extension and the at least one home slot, where the at least one extension has the electrically conductive material, and where the at least one detent and the at least one home slot are electrically non-conductive.
