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).

1. A vapor dispensing device configured to be connected to an electrical receptacle having an outlet face, said vapor dispensing device comprising a housing and a plug configured to be inserted into the outlet face, wherein the housing comprises a worst-case transverse loading point a perpendicular distance dL from the outlet face and a worst-case support point a distance ds from the plug, and wherein the distance dS is greater than the distance dL; a first device outlet electrically coupled to the plug; and a second device outlet electrically coupled to the plug. 2. The vapor dispensing device of claim 1 wherein the worst case support point is a point along a leading edge of the housing adjacent the front face and opposite the plug from the worst case transverse loading point.3. The vapor dispensing device of claim 2 wherein the thickness of the housing is less than the shortest distance from the plug to the loading edge of the housing.
