Abstract
An electrical device (,), in particular an energy regulator or infinite switch, comprises a body portion (,) with one or more electrical elements (,D, B, C,,) mounted thereto. The body portion (,) and the electrical element(s) (,D, B, C,,) mounted thereto define an assembly having a minimum dimension which is termed the “thickness” of the assembly. At least one terminal (,) is also mounted to the body portion. The terminal has a mounting portion (,) and a contact portion (,) with the mounting portion (,) extending transversely to the thickness dimension to thereby result in a low-profile electrical device.
