Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0921611A2] The arrangement has several plug sockets with corresponding contacts for making electrical contact with each pin of an electrical plug when inserted into the socket and several electrical input contacts electrically coupled to each electrical connecting contact to make an electrical connection between the electrical connecting contacts and a mains current supply. Each input contact is designed to contact an insulated conductor with an insulation cutting edge or surface which cuts through the insulation when the contact is moved relative to the conductor and makes electrical contact. An Independent claim is also included for a mains current switching unit.
