Abstract: An electrical plug-socket connection in which the socket is provided with sliding latch plates that fit in notches in the plug prongs to latch the prongs in the slots of the socket. Springs urge the latch plates toward their latching positions. Release buttons are diametrically opposite one another on the socket body and may be depressed to release the latch plates through lever arms which slide the latch plates against the spring force to release positions. The latch plates are then disengaged from the notches in the prongs and the prongs may be withdrawn from the slots in the socket. The face of the socket has waterproof gasket and the release buttons are covered by waterproof covers to make the plug-socket water tight.
