Patent attributes
The present invention is directed to a device for adjustably providing power to at least one electrical load. The device includes a rear body member and a plurality of terminals configured to be coupled to a source of the power and at least one load. A power control circuit is disposed in the body member and coupled between the plurality of terminals and the at least one electrical load. The power control circuit includes at least one variable control mechanism coupled to at least one series pass element. The at least one series pass element is configured to provide power to the at least one electrical load in accordance with the at least one variable control mechanism setting. A frameless front cover assembly is connected to the body member. The frameless front cover assembly includes at least one switch mechanism coupled to the at least one variable control mechanism. The frameless front cover assembly has a raised rectangular form factor. A planar heat sink is disposed between the frameless front cover assembly and the rear body member. A ground tab is connected to the planar heat sink and configured to extend perpendicularly from an interior planar surface of the planar heat into the rear body member. The ground tab includes a ground terminal configured to accommodate a ground screw.
