  • Patent number: 10566745
    Abstract: A compact interlocked electrical socket, including a containment body provided with a plurality of receptacles adapted to receive respective pins of a plug is provided. Each receptacle is electrically connected to a connector by contacts that are movable between a closed contact position, which corresponds to the closure of the circuit, and an open contact position, which corresponds to the opening of the circuit. The closed contact position allows an electrical connection between the receptacle and the connector. The open contact position breaks the electrical connection between the receptacle and the connector. The plug can be mechanically locked in the closed contact position. The breaker locks can be mechanically locked in the open contact position when the plug is not inserted in the socket.
