ABSTRACT:
The invention describes an electrical receptacle comprising a housing having apertures for receiving blade-type contacts of a plug in which the plug is formed with an aperture at its free end, and a pair of contacts secured in the interior of the housing in longitudinal alignment with the apertures for electrically conductively contacting plug contacts inserted through the apertures, each contact member having a flexible contact portion having a projection releasably interlockable with the aperture of a plug contact to prevent inadvertent withdrawal of the plug contacts from the housing and an arrangement for selectively manually displacing the contact portions for releasing the plug contacts.
