Abstract (en)

Connector (10) for a domestic appliance that comprises a first part (11) associated with the domestic appliance, and a mating second part (20) associated with corresponding current and/or steam generator/feeder members. The first part (11) has a first electric connector (16) and a possible first steam connector (18), while the second part (20) comprises a second electric connector (17) and a possible second steam connector (19). The connector (10) comprises a protection element (30) cooperating with the first electric connector (16) and with the first steam connector (18). The protection elements (30) can be selectively positioned, at the moment when the two parts (11, 20) are coupled, between a first protection position, wherein they cover the first electric connector (16) and the first steam connector (18), and a second connection position, wherein they allow the first electric connector (16) and the first steam connector (18) to be associated with the second electric connector (17) and with the second steam connector (19). <IMAGE>
