Zusammenfassung:An active coverplate comprising a face plate having a proximal surface and a distal surface. An electrical load is included. A flange extends distally away from the face plate, wherein the flange comprises a contact having a distalmost end. The flange further includes a housing defining a hollow interior and sized to receive the contact such that the distalmost end is exposed outside the housing for making electrical contact with a power supply of a receptacle body. The contact is free to slide distally and, alternatingly, proximally within the housing. There is an electrical connection between the contact and the electrical load.
