Abstract
In some embodiments, an electrical device can include a body having a shape that extends along a longitudinal direction, and a set of electrodes implemented on the body at different locations along the longitudinal direction and configured to allow the electrical device to be positioned and mounted to a surface. The set of electrodes can include first and second electrodes configured to provide first and second engagements with the surface, respectively, and to allow a settling motion when the electrical device is positioned on the surface. The set of electrodes can further include a selected electrode having a side configured to allow the settling motion and an engagement portion configured to stop the settling motion and thereby provide a third engagement with the surface.
