PLUG-IN SOCKET PROVIDED WITH A VOLTAGE CONVERTER

摘要

The invention concerns mains units for voltage conversion for electronic terminal devices. The invention concerns in particular a plug-in socket for coupling to corresponding standard plugs and for connecting an electrical terminal device to a voltage supply. The invention also concerns means for voltage conversion for a plug-in socket. The object of the invention is to improve the use of mains units with voltage conversion means, in comparison with the state of the art. The object is attained by a plug-in socket for coupling to corresponding standard plugs and for connection of an electrical terminal device to a primary voltage, comprising a socket housing, first electrical contact device arranged in the socket housing for coupling to corresponding electrical contact device of the standard plugs, a device integrated in the socket housing for voltage conversion of a primary voltage into at least one secondary voltage for the electrical terminal device, second electrical contact device arranged on the socket housing for electrical contacting of the secondary voltage and wherein the voltage conversion device are integrated in the socket housing so that the external dimensions of the socket housing are substantially predetermined by the dimensions of the corresponding standard plug. The object is further attained by voltage conversion device for a plug-in socket as set forth above comprising a closed one-part structural form. The object is still further attained by an electrical terminal device comprising a plug-in socket as set forth above.
