A vapor dispensing device having a high transverse loading stability includes
a
relatively low profile with respect to the supporting wall or electrical receptacle
such that the frequency and impact of accidental physical contact with the device
are appropriately reduced. To achieve a low profile, the housing of a vapor dispensing
device is designed such that the distance from the outlet face of the wall receptacle
to a worst-case transverse loading point (dL) is less than the distance
from the plug to a worst-case support point (dS).
