ABSTRACT:
A power source socket includes a casing fixed to a vehicle. The socket has a contact coupled to a power supply. The contact of the socket is electrically connected to a contact of a plug of an electrical device when the plug is inserted into the casing. The socket has a contact fixed to the casing. The socket also has a movable contact movably accommodated in the casing. The movable contact has a first contact portion and a second contact portion. The first contact portion contacts the fixed contact. The second contact portion contacts the plug contact. The first contact portion also contacts the fixed contact in accordance with the engagement of the plug contact and the second contact portion of the movable contact when the plug is inserted into the casing. The contact portion of the movable contact is separated from the fixed contact in accordance with the movement of the plug contact away from the movable contact when the plug is removed from the casing. A coil spring is located between the movable contact and the fixed contact. The spring biases the movable contact in a direction away from the fixed contact.
