ABSTRACT:
An apparatus provides an electrical interconnection between a stationary fixture and a vehicle. A plug assembly provides a plurality of spaced apart plug electrodes. A standoff holds the plug electrodes in mutually parallel, fixed positions extending horizontally and outwardly therefrom. A base portion is fixed to the vehicle for supporting the standoff. A cover is hingably attached to the base portion such that the cover may be protectively positioned over the standoff and plug electrodes in a first position of the cover. An alternate second position of the cover exposes the standoff and plug electrodes. A socket assembly is adapted for use with the stationary fixture and provides an upper protective plate and a lower protective plate. A plurality of socket electrodes are positioned between the plates. An insulating spacer is included for supporting and separating the socket electrodes. A support is positioned between the fixture and the socket assembly for holding the socket assembly in a preferred position for engaging the plug assembly.
