Abstract
An integrated control device for mounting in electrically heated articles of apparel for controlling power to heating wires secured in the articles of apparel. The control device has a finger-operable switch integrated with electronic circuits mounted on a pcb board. The electronic circuits have a communication circuit to interface with a user person to provide message information to the user person. A waterproof envelope shields at least a portion of the control device. An input electrical connecting port is mounted on the control device and accessible from outside the waterproof envelope. The input electrical connecting port is configured to magnetically receive and retain an external electrical connector having a conductor cable secured thereto to provide power to the electronic circuits from an external electrical power source. The input electrical connecting port, and the external electrical connector positioned therein, exhibit a magnetic coupling force of a predetermined strength permitting rotational planar displacement of the external electrical connector, when a shear force is applied thereto by the conductor cable of the external electrical connector, without separating the magnetic coupling retention force between the magnet retainers.
