ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector device has first and second male terminal sets adapted to couple with matched female connector devices. The electrical connector device has particular utility in coupling an auxiliary generator with female power take off receptacles to a conventional receptacle in a wiring circuit. The device includes a switch mechanism associated with each terminal set to avoid exposure of energized terminals. The switch mechanism preferably takes the form of a plunger which is reciprocable between a retracted position and an extended position. In moving the plunger between its retracted and extended positions the plunger "makes" and "brakes" contact respectively for its associated terminal set with internal conductors in the connector device. The electrical connector device is adapted for all types of electrical power connections, including conventional 110 volt and 220 volt circuit receptacles.
