Abstract (en)

In an electrical socket, fins 53 to 55 projecting rearwards from a front wall of the socket are received in slots 32, 58 and 31 when pins of a correct plug are correctly inserted but, when a single pin is inserted, the shutter 15 is tilted laterally and causes free end faces of tongues 66, 67 and 68 of the shutter to abut against the fins 53, 54 and 55 to retain the shutter closed. In an alternative embodiment, the shutter has to be displaced rearwardly to beyond stops on the front wall before it can be cammed linearly upwardly to open it. <IMAGE>
