Abstract: The specification discloses an injection-molded electric plug having an integral circuit breaker. The plug housing is molded directly onto the power cord and defines a circuit breaker chamber. A circuit breaker is slidably received within the chamber and retained therein by spring fingers. The housing is elongated and the prongs extend from one of the long sides thereof so that the housing lays substantially flat against a receptacle. The prongs are angularly oriented with respect to the elongated body so that the body will not overlie adjacent receptacle outlets.
