Abstract:
An AC (Alternating Current) plug for providing power via a power circuit is assembled by: selecting a cover that includes prongs and structures on an inner side; positioning a PCB (printed circuit board) that includes contact pads connecting the PCB to the power circuit on structures of the inner side of the cover; positioning the spring mounted terminals on structures on the inner side of the cover such that a first end of each spring mounted terminal is positioned on a contact pad of the PCB; positioning a cap on the spring mounted terminals, the PCB and the cover, such that assembly holes of the cap, the PCB and the cover are aligned; and fastening the cap to the cover, such that the first end of each spring mounted terminal is secured against a respective contact pad and each spring mounted terminal is loaded and exerts a force against a prong.
