CONTROL DEVICE WITH ACCESSIBLE SYMMETRICAL INPUT CONNECTOR

A control device for mounting in electrical heated wearables for controlling power to electrical heating wires secured in the heated wearables and capable of charging one or more portable batteries associate therewith and communicating data relative thereto. The control device has a finger-operable switch integrated with electronic circuits mounted on a pcb board. The electronic circuits include a communication circuit to interface with a wearer person to provide message information to the wearer person. The electronic circuits has power input terminals adapted to receive operating voltage from the one or more portable batteries. The pcb board with the finger-operable switch, the wiring connections and the electronic circuits are encapsulated by waterproof material. A female USB symmetrical input connecting port is mounted at a user accessible location on the control device and isolated from the pcb board and the electronic circuits by a further waterproof material. The female USB symmetrical input connecting port has a cable connection capable of transmitting power and data to the electronic circuits and power input terminals. The female USB symmetrical input connecting port is oriented to provide access to a symmetrical male plug connector secured to a power supply cable capable for supplying voltage from an auxiliary battery supply or charger and for the transmission of data information.
