Abstract: An electrical plug, for example an AC adaptor, has a pair of pins that may be moved between an operative position and a non-operative position in which the pins are received within slots formed in a body. When in the non-operative position the pins are completely received within the slots and a mechanism is provided for releasing the pins from the slots when it is desired to move the pins into their operative position. The pins pivot about a pivot axis located adjacent an edge of the body so that the pins pivot outwardly towards the edge into their operative position.
