    (54) Connecting socket


    (57) Connecting socket comprising two conducting strips (16a, 16b), actuated by at least two resilient strips (22a, 22b), fastened to opposed sides of an electrically conducting body (14), being said conducting strips (16a, 16b) and resilient strips (22a, 22b) longitudinally shared for sharing the electric currents flowing through the conducting strips (16a, 16b) in order to reduce the electrodynamic repelling forces which can be developped between the strips of the socket and a conducting blade member (30) thereinto inserted owing to overcurrent conditions, as short circuit currents. Double insertion sockets, comprising two opposed members coming out from opposite sides of a conducting body connecting the two members, are further provided.
