Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2322214A] A remote control adapter (1) for connecting an electrical device (3) to an electrical supply (2) includes a remote control circuit (7) which is mounted on a substrate fitted within a housing (5) which forms part of the adapter body and which extends about a longitudinal axis of the adapter body so that the substrate is wrapped at least partly around the longitudinal axis. The remote control adapter (1) is provided for fitting in-line between an electrical power supply (2) and an electrical device (3) so that a number of functions of the device can be controlled or triggered remotely. The remote control circuit (7) is located within the adapter body (5) to minimise the overall size of the adapter, which is important for applications where the visual impact of the adapter is significant to the customer.
