ABSTRACT:
An electrical socket device includes a base member formed with an open top side for access to a mounting chamber. Two conductive prong engaging members are mounted on the base member inside the mounting chamber, and are formed with prong engaging portions. One of the prong engaging members is further formed with a first fuse contact. A conductive fuse contacting member is mounted on the base member inside the mounting chamber, and has a second fuse contact aligned with and spaced apart from the first fuse contact. A thermal fuse has first and second fuse terminals held removably by the fuse contacts. A cover member is mounted on the base member to cover the top side of the base member, and includes a plug engaging portion formed with prong inserting slots aligned with the prong engaging portions, and a fuse locating portion formed with an access opening for exposing the fuse contacts. A cover plate is mounted removably on the cover member to cover the access opening, and has the thermal fuse retained removably thereon such that mounting of the cover plate on the cover member will result in engagement of the thermal fuse with the fuse contacts.
