ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an electrical plug capable of preventing an overheating of electric wires of an electric cord connected to the electrical plug, and of preventing an accidental disconnection of the electric cord, thereby being very safe and very long-lasting. A plurality of plug terminals of the electrical plug are inserted into a wall outlet in order to supply an electric power to an electrical appliance. An electric cord electrically connects the electrical appliance to an electrical source. A first electric wire and a second electric wire are connected to the plug terminals, respectively. A plug body supports a connection between the plug terminals and the electric cord. Preferably, the plug body is made of a polyamide by using an injection molding process. A supporting portion for supporting the first electric wire and the second electric wire protrudes level to a center line of the main body and from one face of a main body of the plug body. A plurality of fixing members fix the first electric wire and the second electric wire on the supporting portion. A part of the fixing means has a reverse L-shape in order to effectively prevent the electric wires from shorting. Thereby, the first electric wire and the second electric wire do not short at the plug terminals.
