ABSTRACT:
An electrical mating connector for connecting a safety plug have prongs connected to a plurality of conductors. The connector comprises a coupling body having an end face disposed on a surface thereof, a plurality of lugs disposed in the coupling body, and a protective insert movably mounted in the coupling body. The lugs respectively connect to a plurality of conductors and are set back at a predetermined distance from the coupling end face. The protective insert has a mating end face and a plurality of openings disposed on the mating end face and adapted to accept the prongs of the safety plug. The protective insert moves between a first position wherein the protective insert end face is extended outwardly from the end face of the coupling body and the lugs such that the prongs of a safety plug coupled to the protective insert are out of contact with the lugs and a second position wherein the protective insert is inserted into the coupling body toward the lugs such that the prongs of the safety plug coupled to the protective insert are in contact with the lugs. The conductors are disposed in a cord which connects to the coupling body.
