[0002] Outlets are typically the bridge between electrical appliances and the power source. There are various types of outlets available in the current technology, including PDU outlets.
[0003] Existing PDU sockets typically include an upper housing, a lower housing, a socket assembly, a switch, and a mounting bracket. The upper housing is slidably mounted on top of the lower housing. The socket assembly is located on the upper housing and extends into the interior of the lower housing. The switch is mounted on the upper housing and is electrically connected to the socket assembly, allowing the socket assembly to be switched on and off. The mounting bracket is mounted on the lower housing, allowing the PDU socket to be installed in a designated location using mounting feet.

The single-pole switch 4 allows for independent switching control of individual socket assemblies 3. The assembly plate 7 has a mounting groove on its top, allowing it to be connected to a designated location for installation of the lower housing 1. The master controller 8 is connected to multiple copper contacts 13 via electrical wires, with each contact corresponding to a live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire. The operating compartment 10 allows the PDU socket plug to be electrically connected to the copper components within the compartment via a wiring harness, and the master controller 8 is also connected to these components via a wiring harness. The upper housing 2 is slidably inserted into the top of the lower housing 1. The socket assembly 3 is installed on the top of the upper housing 2.
