An electrical insulator for providing insulation between electrical contacts includes an injection molded housing. The housing includes a plurality of apertures adapted to receive the electrical contacts. Electrical contacts are inserted into the apertures and are installed utilizing ultrasonic welding.

Spring clips with nesting end portions are disclosed for use in securing heat generating electrical devices to a support surface, such as a heat sink. The nesting end portions of the clips depend downwardly below the main body portion to prevent contact with edges of electrical devices of varying height and width. Thickness and temper of the clips provide some flexibility so there is less variability in clamping force applied to the clamped devices by the clip in response to tightening of the attachment means and torquing of the fastening means becomes less critical.

For use with a cabinet having a door, a retractable handle and a method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the retractable handle includes: (1) a handle grip having first and second extensions projecting therefrom and passing through corresponding first and second apertures in the door and (2) a spring structure, coupling the first and second extensions to the door, that bears against the first and second extensions to urge the handle grip toward a retracted position and, when the handle grip is subjected to a pulling force, compresses to allow the handle grip to move toward an extended position.
