Abstract
Wireless communication devices may include a printed circuit board and a conductive pin structure. The printed circuit board may include a neutral power input and a live power input positioned at a first distance from each other. The conductive pin structure may include a neutral pin and a live pin positioned at a second, different distance from each other. A first sheet metal connector may electrically connect the neutral pin to the neutral power input and a second sheet metal connector may electrically connect the live pin to the live power input. Various other related devices, components, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
