ABSTRACT:
A stackable electrical socket has an insulating body with a longitudinally extending bore for receiving an electrical plug member. Electrical contact elements extend partially into the bore for contact with the plug member when inserted, such contact elements having a leg part accommodated in one of a pair of first and second slots so as to extend from that one slot outwardly of the body for electrical connection. In this manner two similar insulating bodies of stackable electrical sockets can be stacked one on another so that the first and second slots of the overlying socket each overlie one of a first and second slot of the underlying connector and the leg part of the overlying connector which is presented for electrical connection is received through one of the first or second slots which is vacant of a leg part of the underlying socket for the leg part of the overlying socket to be presented for electrical connection from the underlying socket. The leg part of the overlying socket being insulated by the body material of the underlying socket from electrical contact with the leg part of the underlying socket.
