ABSTRACT:
A receptacle adapted to be mounted on a printed wiring board (PWB) which includes an insulative member supporting a plurality of conductive contacts which conductive contacts engage the PWB and a conductive sheet having a lower wall superimposed on said PWB. An upper wall is superimposed over the insulative member in spaced relation over the lower wall and a pair of side walls perpendicularly interposed between said upper and lower walls to form a plug receiving space. A conductive sensor is positioned adjacent one of said conductive contacts and which contacts one of the conductive contacts when a plug is inserted in the plug receiving space. In an alternate embodiment a convex projection on the plug presses the power contact against the sensor.
