ABSTRACT:
An AC power supply socket is adapted for receiving an electrical plug and includes a housing having a top opening, a pair of socket terminals disposed in the housing, and a flexible cover mounted on the housing to cover the top opening sealingly. The cover has an insulating plate disposed above the socket terminals, and a pair of conductive hollow legs connected integrally with the insulating plate, aligned with the socket terminals, and adapted to receive a pair of conductive prongs of the plug. The insulating plate has an intermediate portion and two opposite flexible portions. The hollow legs extend downward from the intermediate portion into the housing without contacting the socket terminals in a normal state, and are movable downward further to contact the socket terminals when the insulating plate is flexed downward upon insertion of the plug into the hollow legs.
