ABSTRACT:
A socket terminal has a shell, two electrodes, a ground and at least one socket member. The shell has a base and a cover which is mounted on the base. The base has a first side which defines two grooves for receiving the electrodes and a second side which defines a channel for receiving the ground. The base further defines at least one aperture. The socket member has a casing which has a disk-shaped shaft formed thereon whereby the disk-shaped shaft is received in the opening defined in the cover so that the casing is pivotable between a first position and a second position. Two conductive strips each has a first end received in the casing and a second end disposed below the casing. A grounded strip has a first end received in the casing and a second end disposed secured to the casing by means of a screw with a relatively large head. The head of the screw is inserted through the aperture defined in the base and is further engaged with the ground. The second ends of the conductive strips contact the electrodes when the casing is in the first position. The second ends of the conductive strips do not contact the electrodes when the casing is in the second position. The second end of the grounded strip is always engaged with the ground.
