Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0478172A2] A splash-proof electrical in-line socket comprises a two-piece elongate body enclosing and clamping rigidly an electric terminal insert 30 adapted for connection to an electric cable extending into the elongate body. The body comprises a first unitary piece 10 having a rigid tubular end section 13 from which depends, in the longitudinal direction of the socket, a first side wall 16, and a second unitary piece 20 in the form of a second side wall 22 whose edge mates with a corresponding edge or the first side wall 16 and with an inner edge of the tubular end section to form a splash-proof enclosure. The electric terminal insert 30 is clamped between the opposed side walls and has an end portion containing electric terminals 33 and projecting into the tubular end section 13. <IMAGE>
