ABSTRACT:
Electrical waterproof coupler socket is provided with a body including housings containing contacts and openings for passage of opposing contacts of another device. A protective flap is translationally slidably mounted on the body and includes apertures arranged in a same number and manner as the openings of the body, and includes at least one blocking zone. The flap is slidable between at least one blocking position where the at least one blocking zone blocks the openings, and an opening position where the openings and apertures are superimposed, with the at least one blocking zone comprising a plane that is inclined towards the opposing surface of the flap from front-to-rear with respect to the direction in which the flap translates towards the opening position. The openings of the body are surrounded by bevelled edges comprising ridges, with a plane passing through the ridges being parallel to the inclined plane of the at least one blocking zone, so that the at least one blocking zone presses on the ridges in the blocking position. Seals can also be included on the body or on the flap or on both. Water-tightness is thereby ensured while allowing an easy sliding of the flap which does not remain permanently in contact with the edges during its sliding, but which presses perfectly thereon in the blocking position.
