CA 2013078

A low profile alternating current electrical plug is disclosed in which the electrical pins are terminated in lands at right angles to the axis of the pins. These lands are used for crimping wires to the pins as well as for mechanically stabilizing the pins in the molded plug body. Forming these lands at right angles to the pin axis permits a very thin plug body. The electrical cord exits the plug head at an acute angle to the line of the power pins as well as at an acute angle to the axis of a mating electrical outlet. The wires exit the plug head, however, at a right angle to the pin axes and parallel to the wall thereby maintaining the low profile. At the wire exit, a cone-shaped sleeve acts as a shock absorber for forces exerted on the cord, thereby absorbing most of these forces before they reach the pin area. A removal ring is made integral with the low profile plug, lying parallel to the plug when not in use, but pivoting to a perpendicular position when grasped by a finger. Due to the low profile of the plug and the wall-hugging position of the cord, decorative covers can be installed over both the wire and the plugs, making the entire electrical installation aesthetically appealing.
