1. A power receptacle assembly comprising:
a power supply cradle including:
a base member;
a first sidewall extending from the base member; and
a second sidewall extending from the base member, wherein one or a combination of the base member, the first sidewall and the second sidewall is configured to include one or more protrusions;
a circuit subassembly including:
a base plate; and
at least one low voltage power output receptacle electrically connected to the base plate, wherein the base plate is secured to the power supply cradle by the one or more protrusions; and
a housing that includes an inner surface forming at least one elongated cavity, wherein, with the base plate secured to the power supply cradle, the power supply cradle is arranged within the at least one cavity of the housing with at least one of the first sidewall, the second sidewall, or the base member spanning laterally across the elongated cavity and contacting opposing portions of the inner surface to prevent movement of the power supply cradle within the cavity, such that base plate of the low voltage power supply circuit subassembly does not directly contact any of the inner surface that forms the at least one cavity of the housing.
