Abstract
A wiring device includes a strap having mounting holes to facilitate fastening of the wiring device to an electrical box, a housing having a face accessible once the wiring device is fastened to the electrical box, the face having an area divided into a first region and a second region, a first line voltage electrical outlet accessible through a first set of apertures on the first region of the face and a user-interchangeable module accessible on the second region of the face, the user-interchangeable module including a low voltage port configured to receive a male charging connector of a charging cable connected to an external device. The wiring device comprises charging circuitry within the housing, the charging circuitry being configured to provide charging current to the external device. The charging circuitry has an electrical operating parameter configurable automatically by a characteristic of the user-interchangeable module or the external device.
