ABSTRACT:
A male electrical connector comprising a housing having an abutment and a side. Male electrical contacts project from the abutment, the male electrical contacts are arranged for insertion into a standard 120 Volt female electrical connector. A fastener has a member. The member comprises a first end portion pivotally connected to the side of the housing and a second end portion defining an engaging surface. The engaging surface extends toward the male electrical contacts. The member is selectively pivotable between an engagement position wherein the engagement surface is positioned toward the male electrical contacts and a disengagement position wherein the engagement surface is positioned away from the electrical contacts.
