ABSTRACT:
A safety socket for receiving terminals of a plug includes a socket housing where at least two electrodes are mounted, a socket cover coupled with the socket housing and defining at least two inserting apertures corresponding to the electrodes, and an insulating baffle rotatably located above the electrodes by a torsional spring and having at least two gaps opened at intervals along a circle of which a center is at the rotation axis of the insulating baffle, and at least two driven slopes arranged alternately with the gaps along the circle. The driven slopes movably block between the inserting apertures and the corresponding electrodes. The terminals pass through the inserting apertures and act on the driven slopes to drive the insulating baffle to rotate so as to make the gaps exposed in alignment with the corresponding electrodes. Then the terminals pass through the gaps to be inserted in the electrodes.
